Three Astute Class submarines are in service with the Royal Navy: HMS ASTUTE, HMS AMBUSH and HMS ARTFUL.

It is UK policy that we do not comment on matters relating to submarine operations as this would, or would be likely to, prejudice the capability, effectiveness and security of our Armed Forces.
