Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.

This book provides an overview of submarines commissioned by the Royal Navy. The Royal Navy Submarine Service is the submarine element of the Royal Navy, and is sometimes known as the "Silent Service," on account of a submarine being required to operate quietly in order to remain undetected by enemy sonar. The service currently consists of eight fleet submarines (SSNs), of the Swiftsure, Trafalgar and Astute classes, and four ballistic missile submarines (SSBN), of the Vanguard class. It also operates the LR5 Submarine Rescue System. All the Royal Navy's submarines are now nuclear powered. Read about the Submarine Service, the different classes of submarines, future models, and much more.
