Fifth Astute-class submarine HMS Anson was formally commissioned in Barrow shipyard today in a ceremony attended by the Prime Minister, the Defence Secretary and Deputy Prime Minister of Australia.

The boat will leave the yard to begin sea trials in the next few months. She is desperately needed as Royal Navy is currently down to just 5 SSNs (including HMS Triumph still to complete 3+ year refit)
