BrillsonHawk on September 24, 2026 6:50 pm China makes one of these every couple of years and it takes us 13 😂
Mintyxxx on September 24, 2026 6:56 pm We have the best names for naval vessels, that is a great name
TheITMan19 on September 24, 2026 7:00 pm Let’s hope it doesn’t blow up when it gets hit by a £50 drone.
empmccoy on September 24, 2026 7:12 pm Honestly. You have to feel for these sailors without the modern comforts. For example they can’t use the internet to spell check ‘Agamemnon’ for any report they write.
sjintje on September 24, 2026 7:22 pm Imagine ordering a boat in 1939 and it’s ready in 1952. “You guys just start without us!”
Odd-Metal8752 on September 24, 2026 7:23 pm Whilst I agree that the Chinese and British sectors are not comparable, the idea being pushed that Chinese subs are a bit shit is not defensible. u/LR_FL2 u/INFORMATIVE u/Krabsandwich u/GabagoolNoZiti
b1tchell on September 24, 2026 7:28 pm Sail it straight to the Fawkland Islands. That should do the trick nicely.
Snowy349 on September 24, 2026 8:22 pm 13 years…. Someone is taking the piss…. The yanks were building los Angeles class attack boats in just over 4 years 35 years ago.. We need these built far faster than this.
jmc291 on September 24, 2026 9:34 pm 13 years is a stretch. The steel was probably cut 13 years ago but the boat probably wasn’t boat shape until 5 or so years ago
postmodernclassic on September 24, 2026 9:35 pm At least they’ll be able to avoid the AI slop whilst underwater

HMS Armageddon but the person writing it was dyslexic?

Wondering whether Greece should name their next sub Alfred…..
