Well that answers that question - stopped at Gibraltar to unload, not load, weapons. Now back in the UK.
So much for the extended detachment down in Australia.

The @RoyalNavy Astute Class nuclear-powered attack submarine (SSN) HMS Anson is seen here inbound to @HMNBDevonport Plymouth this afternoon.
Deploying to Australia at the beginning of 2026, she was ordered to somewhere in the Indian Ocean (it is presumed) after the Iran War erupted in late Feb, then sailed into Gibraltar about a week ago.
Heading for the UK after a few days alongside, it was speculated HMS Anson would be needing some kind of maintenance period. Devonport Dockyard is the main place for such work.
