Astute is the name of a class of British nuclear war submarines (Anns). This type of units have been built since 2001. In total, seven units of this type have been built or planned. The astute-class ship is 97 m long, 11.3 m wide and has an displacement of approximately 7,400-7,800 tons. Maximum underwater speed approx. 29-30 sea miles. Such ships are equipped with six torpedo hives of 533 mm.

The astute -class ships have been developed and made into production to replace the Trafalgar class ships in the Royal Navy. New ships are significantly different from the previous ones. First of all, they are significantly larger than them in terms of both length and underwater relocation. They also have more torpedo hives and can carry more torpedo, missile or rocket torpedo. It was also more suitable for attacking land targets than the trafalgar class ships. Of course, they have richer and more modern electronic equipment, and they probably have better sound -induced than before. It is estimated that a single ship in this class is over £ 1.4 billion compared to 2015 prices.
