HMS Astute (first in the class) went to wargame with US Naval assets around 2015 and gave the USN a bit of an unwelcome shock with its ability to hold US submarines (mostly ageing LA 688 boats) with targetting solutions using its Thales 2076 sonar while surface and air assets couldn't find it or track it. One comment from a US Naval officer, uncredited, was that the LA boats kicked back a dolphin-sized sonar image while the Astute's image size was that of a baby dolphin. The more modern Virginias did better than the LA-class boats but the Block V Virginias being built right now are cruise-missile land-attack subs, not pure hunter-killers like the Astutes.

Astute class: The Astute class also relies on a nuclear reactor (Rolls-Royce PWR2) for propulsion, providing approximately 43,000 shaft horsepower to a pump-jet propulsor. The Royal Navy’s Astute class has a top speed of 30kn (56km/h; 35m/h) when fully submerged. The Virginia class is slower, reaching speeds of around 25kn (46km/h; 29m/h). Virginia class: The Virginia class utilizes the advanced AN/BQQ-10 sonar suite, including bow, flank, and towed array sonars. It also features photonics masts with high-resolution cameras instead of traditional periscopes. Astute class: The Astute class is equipped with the Thales 2076 sonar suite, featuring bow, flank, and towed array sonars. It also has optronic masts with high-resolution cameras. It is understood that the Royal Navy's sesnors are far superior to that of the US. In 2012, during the joint exercise Fellowship, Astute performed simulated battles with the latest United States Navy Virginia-class submarine, USS New Mexico. Royal Navy Commander Iain Breckenridge was quoted, "Our sonar is fantastic and I have never before experienced holding a submarine at the range we were holding USS New Mexico.

The astute class are also equipped with a unique coating that absorbs sound (anechoic tiles) and a propulsion system that generates less noise to diminish their acoustic signature. The only real advantage that Virginia has is that is carries a slightly bigger payload, making it more of a carrier type vessel than a true silent hunter-killer like the astute, which also happens to be smaller and can dive deeper.

I reckon the Royal Navy screwed up by scrapping the Upholder class boats. They were diesel subs that were sneaky as fuck and near impossible to detect inshore…..perfect for sneaking into hostile territory without detection. They were sold off and I still think it’s a shame. Same goes for our Sandown class mine hunters. We have an underwater testing range called BUTEC up here and kinds of vessels and weapons are tested. I remember when HMS Sandown first came up for sea trials and it only felt like a couple of years had passed before the Saudis were up here looking to buy some. They had a massive party the whole community was invited to at the end of the trials…..summer 96 I think.

@user-nu6bl4ru2q I am not just talking about submarine technology and you're right, we've pioneered pump jets and 'stealth technology' too, but we could not have afforded to have developed reactors with natural circulation (ie no pumps at patrol speeds) which makes a huge difference. We rely perhaps too heavily on the USN for many things other than kit, such as access to their intelligence. But in our favour, I also think we have a different culture which is more aggressive and less constrained by orthodoxy. In the past ,US submarines were given so many equipment upgrades, they didn't have time to learn to use all the capability. I was always confident of our ability to hold our own with any opponent and the Spearfish gave us a huge advantage when it was introduced. But we 're not spending much on missiles ! So credit where credit is due, we’ve got here working together and I am glad that we haven’t wasted money researching and developing the same things.

From what iv read and seen astute and Virginia are very close with more weapons going us and speed going to the UK boats to close to call if you ask me but as I'm sure teck and improvement are shared between the two there both as good as they are because of shared teck and development arguing who the best is pointless they are well ahead of the rest because of each other and any advantages one has over the other is simply as a result of ongoing development between them both

UK's obsession with health care has made the Royal Navy weaker.

It is fact that the us top two are not even close to the astute the virginia and the seawolf are outdated already and comparing them with uk astute is embbarising

The Americans tell us that their submarines are the best in the world, their fighters are best, their tanks are the best and their artillery etc, etc. Certainly the United States do have very good weaponry but the best? Time will tell.

so, could an Astute-class sub enter the Black Sea undetected? just sayin'.... this one 'merican is glad we are allies🇬🇧🇺🇸🇦🇺🇳🇿😅

It's extremely unlikely anything can go into the black sea undetected considering it'd have to pass through the Bosphorous strait which is barely 100m deep.

As a former US Submariner, I can honestly say that the Astute is better than any US Virginia class at being a hunter killer. The Seawolf class remains the best hunter killers in the world.

@@loyalist5736 "If the United States were to withdraw their cooperation completely, the UK nuclear capability would probably have a life expectancy measured in months rather than years". Not only are Britain's Trident missiles in a common pool shared with the US and maintained in Kings Bay, Georgia, its nuclear warheads are designed and maintained at the Atomic Weapons Establishment at Aldermaston with the help of US know-how, as recently declassified documents on the UK-US Mutual Defence Agreement confirmed. Tuesday's report noted: "The UK is dependent on the United States for many component parts of the guidance and re-entry vehicle, and for the Trident ballistic missile system itself". The Trident Commission was set up by the thinktank, BASIC (The British American Security Information Council). Its work was unded by the Quaker-based Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust and the Ploughshares Fund which may be disappointed, but should not be surprised, by the conclusions. A commission co-chaired by the former Labour defence secretary, Lord Des Browne, the former Tory defence and foreign secretary, Sir Malcolm Rifkind, and the former LibDem leader and shadow foreign secretary, Sir Menzies Campbell, was never going to come up with radical proposals on this issue. No party, bar the Greens, the SNP in Scotland and Plaid Cymru in Wales, is going to come out against Trident before next year's general election (though whoever wins will have to decide what would be sacrificed to pay for it). Tuesday's report rejects Labour's traditional line that Trident should be kept as a "general insurance against an uncertain future" (to quote Tony Blair) or to maintain the UK's status, or that it is needed to preserve a valuable pool of skilled naval engineers. No, the commission's members were too clever to justify Trident on those grounds alone. Instead, they argue this: "If there is more than a negligible chance that the possession of nuclear weapons might play a decisive future role in the defence of the United Kingdom and its allies, in preventing nuclear blackmail, or in affecting the wider security context within which the UK sits, then they should be retained". Even if the chances of "strategic blackmail or nuclear attack" appear slim today, there is "insufficient certainty surrounding the prospect that it would be imprudent" to abandon Trident, argue the authors of the report. Potential future threats are listed as: the re-emergence of a nuclear threat from a large nuclear arsenal (the only current example of such a possibilty is Russia, says the report); "an existing or emerging nuclear-armed threat" that "attains global reach"; and "the emergence of a future massive overwhelming threat involving bio-weapons or other comparable mass destruction technologies still unknown..." Yet all this seems to amount to a "general insurance against an uncertain future" in all but name. The members of the commission include professor Alison Bailes, former head of the FO's security policy department, Sir Jeremy Greenstock, UK ambassador to the UN at the time of the invasion of Iraq, Lord Guthrie, former chief of defence staff, professor Lord Hennessy, the historian, and Lord Rees, Astronomer Royal and recent president of the Royal Society, . They say that the UK should step up efforts to promote multilateral nuclear disarmament, and consider further steps to reduce Britain's operational stockpile of nuclear warheads to below 120. They make clear they are divided over whether or not the UK should abandon its continuous at sea deterrence (CASD as it is known) with one Trident submarines always on patrol, and whether the new Trident fleet should consist of three rather than four submarines, and over whether a decision to replace the existing fleet could be postponed. The cost of building four new Trident submarines alone is officially estimated to be £20bn (£4bn a year in the mid 2020s). The capital cost of a new system - minus running costs and (the often forgotten) decommissioning costs - is estimated by Paul Ingram, BASIC's executive director, to total £50.6bn between 2012 and 2062. "No-one should suffer any illusion that this capability is cheap, and that there will be few opportunity costs", says the report. "Retaining the deterrent could negatively impact on other valuable security and defence capabilities." Unanswered questions remain, notably those surrounding the entire credibility of the deterrent. Would a British prime minister ever credibily threaten to use, ever need to use, let alone actually give the order to fire, nuclear weapons against any country. The report even goes far as to say "there could be future circumstances in which we face a strategic threat...in which the United States would not obstruct the UK exercising its independent operation". That is surely stretching credibility way too far. These issues need to be aired, and MPs and prospective MPs, confronted with them.

Doesn't matter, its common logic ... Why would any country buy arms from the US just to have the US have military control their use, that is retarded. Only arms contract in place is 'Globally Standard' that the technology is not shared to a third party nation without consent, nor can they be sold to a third party without consent. Hence why the UK does not share/sell 'advanced' weaponry to India due to the friendly relationship with Russia. FACT: US holds legal rights to Nuclear Submarine Reactor development that is sold rights to the UK. UK holds legal rights to Pump-jet Propulsion development that is sold the right to the US. It works both ways ...
