Delivering Submarine Capability: At Sea with HMS Tireless
Aug 2008, Vol. 153, No. 4
By Gavin Ireland
The past twelve months have seen a great deal of debate on the purpose and capability of the Royal Navy (RN), notably including the submarine service. RUSI has been at the fore of this discussion, from defining the purpose of the RN, to examining the requirement for submarines, to the specifics of how the UK nuclear submarine force can be effectively sustained. Through a series of photographs and brief commentaries, Gavin Ireland explores some of the elements that contribute to Britain’s submarine capability through a front-line view of what the Ministry of Defence terms the ‘Defence Lines of Development’.
