| | Royal Navy Celebrates Submarine Service Centenary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) |
 | | As in the United States, the Royal Navy will mark this special event with a year-long program, celebrating the achievements of those who designed, built, supported, and operated RN submarines since Holland 1 appeared in 1901 - as well as commemorating the extraordinary sacrifice of those who died in submarines during both peace and war. |
 | | HMS Astute is the biggest and most powerful attack submarine to be built for the RN and, under the Smart Acquisition Program, is being built roughly one fifth more quickly than earlier boats, and with lower running costs and a much smaller ship's company. |
 | | The HMS Turbulent is one of the Royal Navy's Trafalgar-class Nuclear-powered Attack Submarines (SSNs). |
