🇬🇧 Astute sınıfı SSN
Naval · BAE Systems Submarines (Barrow-in-Furness) — Birleşik Krallık 🇬🇧; reaktör: Rolls-Royce · 2010 (ilk gemi HMS Astute); 6. gemi HMS Agamemnon Eylül 2025
The Royal Navy's quietest and most powerful nuclear attack submarine: its Rolls-Royce PWR2 reactor never needs refueling over the boat's life, so it stays submerged for months, striking land targets with Tomahawk cruise missiles and ships/submarines with Spearfish torpedoes. Pump-jet propulsion and the Sonar 2076 let it hunt without being hunted.

Beats: Suffren sınıfı (Barracuda) — daha büyük gövde, daha fazla silah kapasitesi ve olgun Tomahawk entegrasyonu, Type 093 (Shang) — Astute akustik gizlilikte belirgin üstün
Loses to: Virginia sınıfı (özellikle Block V/VPM) — dikey silo ile çok daha büyük seyir füzesi salvosu, Yasen-M (Yasen sınıfı) — ağır anti-gemi/kara füze (Kalibr/Oniks) çeşitliliği ve dikey hücreler
Turn silence into advantage and approach unseen; save the limited missile load it carries on one patrol for the right target.
