The Royal Navy Submarine Service is one of the five fighting arms of the Royal Navy. It is sometimes known as the Silent Service, as submarines are generally required to operate undetected.[2]
The service operates six fleet submarines (SSNs), of the Trafalgar and Astute classes (with two further Astute-class boats currently under construction), and four ballistic missile submarines (SSBN), of the Vanguard class. All of these submarines are nuclear powered.
The Royal Navy's senior submariner was for many years located at HMS Dolphin in Hampshire.[3] It moved from Dolphin to the Northwood Headquarters in 1978.[4] The Submarine School is now at HMS Raleigh at Torpoint in Cornwall.
