Procedural issue with the test? Something not done in the correct sequence, maybe?

Unfortunately the British MOD and equipment are getting a constant slating ATM from all directions,foes and Allies alike, just not helpful and good for the moral of the forces people,the problem is bad news always travels faster than good ,hope the government and MOD gets to grips with things sooner than later , because others I'm fearful are really starting to doubt are credibility,all it needs is for someone like trump to get on the anti british military credibility line ,with why give trident missiles to british ,they keep failing , especially how things are going atm ,and trump could end in the white house,and he tends to like winners not failures in his eyes ,fingers crossed for a good run of successes from now on 🤞

Is this an upgrade to all the ship’s systems short of a refuel?

Surely they’re not going to attempt another refuelling after vanguard?

Well the Vanguard refurb and refuel has been estimated at costing over £500million so?

A subtle hint perhaps that they would welcome the return of HMS Dolphin and her charges ! :idea:

Is this a foreshadowing of a future class an their loyal wingman UUVs? Or am I thinking of Seaquest DSV. Right 90s SciFi reminiscence at the moment with the naming of the latest astute after EAS Agamemnon from Babylon 5.
