6th Astute class submarine HMS Agamemnon rolled out of the build hall
HMS Agamemnon emerged from the Devonshire Dock Hall at Barrow today, marking the transition from the construction phase to the test and commissioning phase.
Following the roll out from the DDH, she will be lowered into the water on the shiplift and moved to the test and commissioning quay where her reactor will go critical for the first time.
She is also the 6th boat of the much-delayed Astute class and she will probably now commission next year, likely in the shipyard, well ahead of beginning sea trials, as was the case with HMS Anson.
It is important to note that the rollout frees up space needed in the DDH to begin the assembly of HMS Dreadnought, first of the much larger SSBNs that is due to be commissioned in the early 2030s.
