King commissions Royal Navy’s newest attack submarine
His Majesty King Charles has officially commissioned HMS Agamemnon, the Royal Navy’s sixth Astute-class attack submarine, during a ceremony at BAE Systems’ Barrow-in-Furness shipyard.Around
500 guests, including senior politicians, naval leaders, industry executives and families of the crew, attended the commissioning. The ceremony included addresses from Defence Secretary John Healey, First Sea Lord General Sir Gwyn Jenkins, and BAE Systems chief executive Charles Woodburn......
On the same day, steel was cut for HMS King George VI, the fourth and final Dreadnought-class submarine. Once completed, the class will ensure the UK’s nuclear deterrent remains unbroken well into the 2060s.
To recognise Barrow’s historic role in British shipbuilding and submarine construction, the King also visited the town hall where he formally granted the title of Royal Port of Barrow.
