The Astute class is the Royal Navy's latest class of nuclear-powered fleet/attack submarines, built by BAE Systems at Barrow-in-Furness. The lead boat was commissioned in 2010, with seven boats planned. It carries Spearfish torpedoes and Tomahawk cruise missiles via six torpedo tubes, powered by a Rolls-Royce PWR2 reactor rated for the vessel's entire 25-year service life without refuelling.
