US Sub outbound

As the saying goes, what goes up must come down.

On Thursday a US Nave sub sailed in to Faslane. Today it headed back to sea.

Several of the crew lined up on the fore and aft decks as she was escorted down the Gareloch by tugs and MOD police launches.

One of the US navy's Virginia class subs paid a visit to Faslane naval base today.

She was escorted by a pair of Serco tugs and the MOD police as she came through Rhu narrows this morning.

Ambush

The Royal Navy's newest submarine, Ambush, arrived at Faslane today.

She is the second of seven Astute class subs and is due to go into service next year.
