    I really wish, without sounding too ungrateful I hope, that you would have a human read the narration. The machine reading is quite jarring. Thanks.

    I love that the Royal Navy named a class of subs with a pun on a Rudyard Kipling quote from childrens' literature. Intelligent understated humour... how very British. Somebody on the panel that chose the name was a 'stute fish.

    [06/30/23] Text-to-speech still hasn't been perfected, and is absolutely awful sounding. Just pick someone on your staff with a good, clear voice, have them practice a bit, and then have them narrate your future videos.

    On the Royal Navy official website for HMS Astute it says on the main facts and figures page 100 personnel, 5 toilets and showers and 16000 tonne displacement... I think that is all we need to know. Could perhaps benefit from shedding a few pounds.

    Best submarines in the world. Wait until you see the Dreadnought class. Sorry you won't. But it's for your safety as well. Safety for the world's people are friends and allies around the world. We our starting to build a modern Royal Navy. We are still 6th or 5th worlds biggest global defence spenders on arms. I would rase it to 2.5 then 2.8 and then 3% to give more skilled jobs needed around all of the UK. Building better for the future. So are grandchildren can live in Peace. "Use the The Royal Navy Motto". It was the Pandemic that caused billions of dollars from every country around the world.
