HMS Astute is an operational nuclear-powered attack
submarine in the Royal Navy, the lead boat of her class.
Astute is the second submarine of the Royal Navy to be named after the characteristic of shrewdness and discernment—the first was the World War II-era {{sclass|Amphion|submarine|0}} {{HMS|Astute|P447|2}}. She was the largest attack submarine in Royal Navy history when commissioned in 2010.
Design
{{further|Astute-class submarine}}
Built as a successor to the {{sclass|Trafalgar|submarine|4}}, Astute is 50% larger than the T-boats but has a smaller crew. The 7,400-tonne Astute{{'}}s nuclear reactor will not need to be refuelled during the vessel's 25-year service. Since the submarine can purify water and air, she is able to circumnavigate the planet without resurfacing.{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-20659823|title= HMS Astute recovers from shaky start| publisher = BBC News | date = 10 December 2012 | access-date=2 June 2013}} The main limit is that the submarine can only carry three months' supply of food for 98 crew.{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11173266|title= New submarine in a class of its own | publisher = BBC News | date = 3 December 2010 | access-date=2 June 2013}}
Astute has stowage for 38 weapons and was expected to typically carry both Spearfish heavy torpedoes and Tomahawk Block IV cruise missiles, the latter costing £870,000 each.{{cite web |title=House of Commons Hansard – Written Answers for Daily Hansard – Written Answers 17 May 2011|url=https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201011/cmhansrd/cm110517/text/110517w0001.htm |publisher=UK Parliament |date=17 May 2011 |access-date=6 November 2011}}
Construction and launch

Astute was ordered from GEC's Marconi Marine (now BAE Systems Submarines) on 17 March 1997. She was laid down at BAE's submarine facility in Barrow-in-Furness on 31 January 2001, 100 years to the day after the keel was laid down for the Royal Navy's first submarine {{HMS|Holland 1||2}}.{{cite web |url=http://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/The-Fleet/Submarines/Fleet-Submarines/Astute-Class/HMS-Astute|title= HMS Astute| publisher = Royal Navy | access-date=2 June 2013}} She was the first submarine built in the UK since HMS Vengeance (launched in 1998).{{cite web |url=http://www.princeofwales.gov.uk/news-and-diary/hrh-visits-hms-astute-barrow-furness|title= HRH visits HMS Astute in Barrow-in-Furness| publisher = Clarence House | access-date=2 June 2013}}

Operational history

File:HMS Astute Anglian Prince Skye.JPG
On 22 October 2010, the Ministry of Defence confirmed that Astute had "run into difficulties" off the Isle of Skye while on trials, after eyewitnesses reported that she had run aground a few miles from the Skye Bridge. There were no reports of injuries.{{cite news |url= https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-11605365 |title= Nuclear submarine HMS Astute runs aground off Skye| publisher = BBC News | date = 22 October 2010 | access-date=22 October 2010}} The captain of the vessel elected to wait for tugboat assistance rather than using the submarine's own power to clear the stern from the obstruction, to minimise damage to the hull's anechoic tiles.{{cite news |title=HMS Astute: world's most advanced nuclear submarine runs aground |author=Harding, Thomas |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/defence/8079960/HMS-Astute-worlds-most-advanced-nuclear-submarine-runs-aground.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101024203336/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/defence/8079960/HMS-Astute-worlds-most-advanced-nuclear-submarine-runs-aground.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=24 October 2010 |newspaper=The Daily Telegraph|date=22 October 2010 |access-date=22 October 2010 |location=London}} A Royal Navy spokesman said that the vessel had been grounded on silt and was re-floated at high tide.[https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-11609870 Grounded nuclear sub dragged free].

On 8 April 2011, one naval officer was killed and another injured in a shooting on board Astute while berthed at Southampton Docks. Southampton City Council's leader, chief executive, and mayor were on board at the time. During a changeover of armed guards, 22-year old Able Seaman Ryan Donovan opened fire with an SA80 assault rifle in the submarine's control room, hitting two officers before being overpowered by Southampton Council's leader Royston Smith (a former RAF flight engineer), and chief executive Alistair Neill.{{cite news|url=http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/8963864.Fatal_shooting_on_nuclear_sub_in_Southampton_docks/|title=Fatal shooting on HMS Astute in Southampton docks|date=8 April 2011|access-date=8 April 2011}}{{cite news |title=HMS Astute shooting: Nuclear submarine guard kills officer in rifle rampage |author=Thomas Harding, Gordon Rayner & Victoria Ward|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/defence/8439401/HMS-Astute-shooting-Nuclear-submarine-guard-kills-officer-in-rifle-rampage.html |date= 8 April 2011|access-date=11 April 2011 |work=The Daily Telegraph|location=London}}
In the 48 hours before going on guard duty, Donovan had drunk 20 pints of cider and lager, as well as cocktails and double vodkas, leaving him well beyond the drink-drive limit when on duty. Heavy drinking before duties was common practice amongst the crew.{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2013/jan/09/binge-drinking-submarine-fatal-shooting |title=Binge drinking on submarine shocks police investigating fatal shooting |newspaper=The Guardian|date=9 January 2013 |access-date=10 January 2013 |location=London}}{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-21458437|title=BBC News – Submariners punished for drunken misconduct|work=BBC Online|access-date=15 February 2013|date=15 February 2013}} According to Smith:
{{blockquote|text="We were in the control room when someone entered and there was an exchange of words. He stepped out with another man and two shots were fired and then he entered the control room again and began shooting again…. He had a magazine with 30 rounds in it so I took the view that someone had to stop him. I pushed him against the wall and we wrestled, then I pushed him into another wall which resulted in him going to the ground and I managed to get the weapon from him and threw it aside under a table. I shouted for someone to help as I held him down and my chief executive was the first to come, and he did a remarkable job of restraining him."|sign=Royston Smith|source=BBC interview{{cite news|url= https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-13022096|title=Council boss 'disarmed gunman' on nuclear submarine|publisher=BBC|date=8 April 2011|access-date=8 April 2011}}}}

=First of class issues=
In November 2012 The Guardian reported that there had been a serious leak that caused an emergency surfacing because a cap for a pipe was made of the wrong metal, even though the inventory claimed proper checks had been made, that there were problems with reactor monitoring instruments because the wrong grade of lead was used, and circuit boards had not been correctly fitted. The Ministry of Defence and BAE Systems confirmed the problems were being worked on. An MoD spokesman said "It is normal for first of class trials to identify areas where modifications are required and these are then incorporated into later vessels of the class."{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2012/nov/15/hms-astute-submarine-slow-leaky-rusty |title=Slow, leaky, rusty: Britain's 10bn submarine beset by design flaws |author=Nick Hopkins |newspaper=The Guardian|date=15 November 2012 |access-date=20 November 2012 |location=London}}

Astute departed Faslane on her maiden deployment at the beginning of 2014, spending eight months abroad. Her deployment included an attached dry deck shelter aft of the sail, possibly for an SBS troop deployment.

=Major capability upgrade, sea training and return to operations=
