The Awesome Aggie is British!

From https://www.forcesnews.com/services/navy/awesome-aggie-newest-nuclear-powered-submarine-completes-first-dive-ahead-joining

Quote:
The Royal Navy's newest Astute-class submarine has completed her first underwater trial at BAE Systems in Barrow-in-Furness, under the control of her Royal Navy crew.

HMS Agamemnon nicknamed Awesome Aggie the sixth of the Astute-class submarines, submerged for a three-day trim dive to test her stability, watertight integrity and buoyancy.

It forms a critical stage in testing the 7,400-tonne, 97-metre vessel, which was recently commissioned into the Royal Navy by His Majesty King Charles III, before she enters full operational service.

The way the UK is going, they are probably planning to use it against teenage girls and pensioners that have offended Muslim men by publicly stating they don't want to be gang r*ped

Just shows the British are small in other ways.

I'll see myself out.
When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say.

So that is a puny sub by comparison. That is ridiculous and of very limited use, in my view.

It's a fast attack sub not a boomer.

At a length of 97m (318ft 3in) and a beam of 11.3m (37ft 1in), the Astute class is smaller than US Navy's Virginia class.

The Virginia class has a displacement of 7,900t, making it the ninth-largest submarine when comparing all submarine variants. It is longer than the Astute class, at 115m (377ft) but also narrower with a beam measurement of 10m (34ft).

They could and can "dive" if you catch my drift.

So, when are they going to launch the Limpdick Longhorn?
The best way to keep evil men from wielding great power is to not create great power in the first place.

Apples to oranges, the British submarine isn't made to carry ICBMs.

Certainly the storage for rum rations would require a bit bigger of a ship, no?

Various Aggie Moms Club could fund a bigger one that that.

They could call it the Aggiemomnon.
