HMS Astute straddled by Devonport tugs as the sub puts to see after storing up alongside before doing what the Silent Service does best, good chance she accompanied the Prince of Wales CSG for a brief stint until she reached the Mediterranean and parted ways 21.04.25

An unexpected return to Devonport, as originally we thought Astute was to accompany the CSG on Operation Highmast, but instead we see her arrival back to Devonport to begin her Mid Life Update, joining sister boat Audacious in Plymouth 05.06.25

With a dock within Babcock part of the Dockyard not ready for many months to come, HMS Astute will begin much of her MLU on the sea wall of Devonport. When the dock becomes available she will move into 5 basin and eventually the new refurbished dock, which will be able to maintain the Astute Class submarines 11.07.25

With work on Astutes MLU well underway, eventually when her dock becomes available her dry-docking period will continue, in the meantime 9 Wharf is her home 08.11.25

Still alongside in the same position Astute's LIFEX continues while her dock becomes availible 30.05.26

HMS ANSON S123

Originally, we thought that as Astute came to Devonport to begin her MLU, we took it that Anson had been tasked on Operation Highmast, a few days before I took this photo, Anson appeared of Plymouth. This image of her I took, being guided to C-Bouy from Plymouth Hoe while enjoying the Armed Forces Day 2025 celebrations, 28.06.25

Homecoming for Anson & Crew as the boat returns to homewaters after an epic 8000 nautical miles voyage to Perth in western Australia, a controversial deployment as at the time of imagery taken, was the only operational SSN the Royal Navy had. Apart from that families & well wisher gather on the many vantage points to welcome Anson into Plymouth 26.05.26
