  • 60 Years of Marine Nuclear Power: 1955
    Marine Nuclear Power: 1939 - 2018 Part 4: Europe & Canada Peter Lobner July 2018 1 Foreword In 2015, I compiled the first edition of this resource document to support a presentation I made in August 2015 to The Lyncean Group of San Diego (www.lynceans.org) commemorating the 60th anniversary of the world’s first “underway on nuclear power” by USS Nautilus on 17 January 1955. That presentation to the Lyncean Group, “60 years of Marine Nuclear Power: 1955 – 2015,” was my attempt to tell a complex story, starting from the early origins of the US Navy’s interest in marine nuclear propulsion in 1939, resetting the clock on 17 January 1955 with USS Nautilus’ historic first voyage, and then tracing the development and exploitation of marine nuclear power over the next 60 years in a remarkable variety of military and civilian vessels created by eight nations. In July 2018, I finished a complete update of the resource document and changed the title to, “Marine Nuclear Power: 1939 – 2018.” What you have here is Part 4: Europe & Canada. The other parts are: Part 1: Introduction Part 2A: United States - Submarines Part 2B: United States - Surface Ships Part 3A: Russia - Submarines Part 3B: Russia - Surface Ships & Non-propulsion Marine Nuclear Applications Part 5: China, India, Japan and Other Nations Part 6: Arctic Operations 2 Foreword This resource document was compiled from unclassified, open sources in the public domain. I acknowledge the great amount of work done by others who have published material in print or posted information on the internet pertaining to international marine nuclear propulsion programs, naval and civilian nuclear powered vessels, naval weapons systems, and other marine nuclear applications.

  • Astute Class of Submarines
    BARROW BUILT THE ASTUTE CLASS ATTACK SUBMARINES HMS Astute arrives at Faslane Vickers along with other great armament manufacturers in both the shipbuilding and aircraft industries have finally gone but the tradition of building and designing Royal Navy submarines still continues at Barrow In Furness. The old Vickers yard is now being run by BAE Systems. The Astute Class of submarines is the planned replacement for the Swiftsure and Trafalgar Class SSNs (Sub-Surface Nuclear), and was to start entering service from the middle of this decade. Intended as a relatively low risk low cost approach to providing a next generation nuclear submarine for the Royal Navy, the Astute programme has unfortunately become one of the most troubled UK defence projects since the 1980's, matched only by the Nimrod 2000 programme. Due to serious delays and problems encountered by the prime contractor BAE Systems, the first unit, HMS Astute, is now not expected to be delivered until November 2008 and will become fully operational in 2009 - four years later than forecast when ordered. Up to seven Astute's will be procured by about 2022, and it is possible that a modified variant may also eventually replace the Vanguard class SSBN's. Unlike every previous class of British nuclear submarine since HMS Dreadnought in the early 1960's, a very significant foreign (American) content has been accepted in the design work after the failure of BAE Systems to complete the task in-house. Nuclear powered hunter-killer submarines are at the heart of the Royal Navy force structure. They have a wide variety of roles and, although conceived towards the end of the cold war, are proving extremely adaptable to a revised employment within the new world order.
