4th Astute Ordered!
well i have to say i'm a tad surprised. I was under the impression that they wouldn't order the 4th. Regardless, glad they are making a commitment to modernising the UKs submarine force.

We have a surface fleet? When did that happen?

If I remember rightly the first Astute is scheduled to launch on 8 June 2007. Hopefully this will make the news in the UK when it happens.
