	Trafalgar class submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Trafalgar class submarines are, until the introduction of the Astute class, the Royal Navy's most advanced nuclear fleet submarines (SSNs).
		It is an attack submarine and is essentially a refinement of the Swiftsure class, designed six years later than its predecessor.
		The Trafalgar class was to be replaced by the Future Attack Submarine (FASM), however this project was effectively cancelled in 2001 and replaced by the Maritime Underwater Future Capability.

	Trafalgar Class Nuclear Fleet Submarine
		Additionally fleet submarines can be used in a surveillance role and the Trafalgar class are fitted with cameras and thermal imaging periscopes for this kind of operation.
		Trafalgar Class submarines displace 5,208 tonnes submerged and measure 85.4 metres in length and 9.8 metres in beam.
		Trafalgar was undergoing post refit sea trials leaving only one- Triumph- fully operational.

	Astute attack submarine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		During World War II the submarine service came into its own and since that time boats have become increasingly larger and faster and now the latest name in the long line of famous classes is Astute.
		Trafalgar class submarines successfully replaced Valiant class vessels as they came on stream from 1983 to 1991.
		Meanwhile, the study into the Batch 2 Trafalgar class submarines continued and it became apparent that further development of the Trafalgar class was the way forward.

	Guardian \| Reactors may not be shut down
		But the massive damage to the bow revealed by five hours of Russian video and the news that the submarine was crippled in a flash increased fears last night that the crew had no time to shut down the reactors.
		This is a lot larger than the British Trafalgar class hunter killer submarines which have a single reactor of around 70 megawatts.
		The Russian submarine is twice as wide at 18 metres, with a similar draft of three metres, and clearly needs much bigger engines to power it through the water.

	Royal Navy Submarines - Trafalgar Class
		The Trafalgar class are the latest SSNs to enter the fleet, and are some of the most advanced vessels in the world.
		The Trafalgar class of submarines incorporate the most advanced propulsion systems, sonar and navigation equipment available to the Royal Navy, and its sonar equipment is considered to be one of the finest units in the world navies.
		The Trafalgar class will continue in service for a considerable period of time: they are capable of being easily retro-fitted with the latest technology and so they should be able to remain effective units.

		Built by the Australia Submarine Corporation (ASC), all six Collins-class submarines were delivered at a final cost of approximately $3.4 billion, in essence more than $500 million per unit, considerably higher than the cost of the average diesel-electric submarine available on the international market.
		Most of the additional costs are associated with infrastructure improvements at ASC and training for submarine construction, as well as repairs and upgrades that are usually associated with a country that attempts to build a complex system for the first time.
		The Provincien class is the first to operate the APAR multifunction radar--developed by Thales Naval Nederland--which is integrated with the Raytheon long-range SM-2 Standard missile, and may be integrated as well in the future for the Evolved SeaSparrow Missile (ESSM) and Theater Ballistic-Missile Defense (TBMD).

	Submarine Camouflage Schemes
		In the summer of 1999 Trafalgar Class submarine HMS Trenchant (S91) was spotted leaving Devonport sporting a blue camouflage scheme.
		Modern nuclear submarines are built to be undetectable: to counter radar and sonar they are designed for silent running and are equipped with ultra-quiet propulsion, while their casings are covered with anehoic (noise reducing) trials which absorb, rather than reflect, radar.
		It is understood that DERA are also considering coating submarines with a "shimmering" substance in order to reduce the chances of them being spotted by the naked eye.

		Questioned further on whether the long stay of the submarine was an indicator of a problem, the MOD officer explaining that the submarine would be leaving shortly, although not being able to give a date.
		The submarine in currently under strict security measures at the South Mole, with monitoring by crew of the outside hull of the submarine observed at regular periods since its arrival.

	nuclear submarine reactor accidents
		In the Northern fleet, 6 reactors on 4 submarines have been dumped at sea - "it was impossible to offload the fuel from all six submarine reactors dumped with spent nuclear fuel because of the emergency condition of the cores".
		In addition 85 % of the submarines in the Northern Fleet which have been decommissioned have not been defuelled, in some cases this is because the reactor cores are damaged.
		In an accident at a submarine berth, base emergency services, local fire and ambulance crews and personnel in the base assisting on the scene could be exposed to high levels of radiation.

		Officials declined to reveal the submarine's destination after it pulled out of the colony on Spain's southern coast, but they have previously suggested it could head for Devonport in southern England.
		The presence of the submarine led to protests from environmentalists and residents in Gibraltar and southern Spain who demanded it be towed away.

		In total, 7 x Trafalgar Class and 2 x Swiftsure Class submarines will be made TLAC-M capable by 2006, with HMS Triumph, HMS Trafalgar, HMS Spartan and HMS Torbay all TLAC-M capable by the end of 2001.
