A major milestone for the UK’s newest nuclear submarine 🌊 HMS Agamemnon has successfully completed her first underwater testing at our Submarines site in Barrow- just a few weeks after being commissioned into the Royal Navy by his Majesty King Charles III. The 'trim dive’ is a three-day period of testing in Barrow's Devonshire Dock to prove the 7,400-tonne, 97-metre-long attack vessel’s stability and safety. The process is a key moment in the lead up to its departure from Barrow to join her sister boats in the fleet.
