Thales UK is proud to support the official launch of the second Astute-class submarine, HMS Ambush, at the BAE Systems shipyard at Barrow-in-Furness on 16 December.
Ambush, a 7,400 tonne nuclear powered attack submarine (SSN), was today unveiled and officially named at the Cumbrian-based shipyard, a significant milestone for the Astute-class programme.
Lady Anne Soar, Ambush’s sponsor and wife of the Royal Navy’s (RN’s) Commander-in-Chief Fleet, Admiral Sir Trevor Soar, performed the ceremony, which was watched by invited guests from the RN, Ministry of Defence (MoD), industry and the Barrow community.
