[quote:Anonymous Coward 30857551:MV8xMTEzNTg2XzM2MjAwMDM3X0I3QUU0OEZE] HMS Tireless may face up to ten months in dry dock at Devonport naval base where, last night, engineers were “planning” repair works. Her absence from operations has reduced Britain’s hunter-killer fleet to just five submarines instead of the recommended seven plus a spare needed to carry out vital duties, including protecting the UK’s Trident missile-carrying Vanguard submarines. [b]Of those five HMS Astute, Britain’s brand new £1.2bn attack sub, is still not fully operational[/b], and at least one other is undergoing maintenance. The dramatic incident happened as the, 4,800 tonne Trafalgar class submarine was taking part in a training exercise for new officers off the west coast of Scotland ten days ago. [b]Navy chiefs ordered it to limp back to the Royal Naval submarine base at Faslane on the Clyde, where engineers inspected the ageing 30-year old reactor system. It comes just weeks after the ballistic nuclear-powered submarine HMS Vigilant was stranded in the United States after its rudder broke during a deployment after a £350 million mid-life refit.[/b] Launched in 1984, HMS Tireless was due to decommissioned from the fleet this year, but her service was extended for another four years due to the delay in the roll out of the new Astute class submarines. http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/378182/Navy-sub-s-radiation-leak-scare [/quote]
