Default Identify this sub

Believe it to be British - perhaps Astute class?

^ Cylon ..


I can't clearly see the front dive planes, but i would also say it's an Astute class sub. A bit deep in the water, regarding the rear fin.

LOL...certainly looks like an Astute Class, either HMS Astute or HMS Ambush.

It got spotted. It can't be very astute. Maybe we should rename it the 'Obtuse' class.

Definitely looks Astute-class, must be Ambush if it's not too close to shore.
