It was reported that no crew members were injured during the collision and that the submarine's nuclear reactor section remained completely undamaged. On 20 July 2016, while surfacing on an exercise in the Strait of Gibraltar, Ambush collided with the Panama-flagged merchant ship Andreas, sustaining significant damage to the top of her conning tower where some of her sonar equipment is housed. She further participated in Exercise Dynamic Manta 15. In April 2015, Ambush participated in Exercise Joint Warrior, the largest military exercise held in Europe, alongside 55 other naval ships of NATO navies. In October 2014, Ambush completed a maiden deployment to the United States, visiting Brazil's Port Canaveral along the way and taking part in its submarine force's centenary celebrations. In May 2013, she carried out berthing trials with forward support ship RFA Diligence and, in August 2013, she successfully conducted her first live torpedo and cruise missile firings. Operational history įollowing her commissioning, Ambush continued sea trials throughout much of 2013. Ambush was commissioned in a ceremony at HM Naval Base Clyde on 1 March 2013. She was laid down at Barrow-in-Furness on 22 October 2003, officially named on 16 December 2010, launched on 6 January 2011, completed her initial dive test on 30 September 2011, and departed Barrow for sea trials on 15 September 2012. The submarine is capable of using Tomahawk Block IV land-attack missiles with a range of 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometres) and Spearfish heavyweight torpedoes.Īmbush was ordered from GEC's Marconi Marine (now BAE Systems Submarine Solutions) on 17 March 1997. The main limit is that the submarine will only be able to carry three months' supply of food for 98 officers and ratings.Īmbush has provision for up-to 38 weapons in six 21-inch (533 mm) torpedo tubes. Since the submarine can purify water and air, she will be able to circumnavigate the planet without resurfacing. She was ordered in 1997, laid down in 2003 and commissioned in 2013.Īmbush's nuclear reactor will not need to be refuelled during the boat's 25-year service. HMS Ambush is an Astute-class nuclear-powered attack submarine of the Royal Navy, the second boat of her class.Īmbush is the third vessel, and the second submarine, to bear the name in Royal Naval service. 6 × 21 in (533 mm) torpedo tubes with stowage for up to 38 weapons:.1 × Rolls-Royce PWR 2 nuclear reactor, HEU 93.5% ģ0 kn (56 km/h 35 mph), submerged.
