Just for a laugh I've put in Bernard + Astute in Google and the top entry included this paragraph:
Dr Tony Rodger became president for “Oklahoma!”, and Bernard Phillips became chairman for “Showboat”. Under Bernard’s astute leadership, the company made excellent progress and his death after he had steered the company through twelve shows was a severe blow. Freddie Walker stepped in temporarily to see the Arcadians through a difficult period, before handing over the chairmanship to Bob Smith. ![]()

Nothing is invincible, but she is rather good, when driven in the right direction.

You can have all the fancy equipment in the world and still be the worst boat in the fleet. It's the crew that determines how good a boat is, not the boat itself. Therefore she is most vincible, beatable, and detectable to a better crew.

I passed Faslane on Monday and she was tied up beside another sub, apparently still getting checked over for damage. There's a viewing area back on the hill overlooking the base where the military road crosses the hills, and there were a few people looking and taking photos. The publicity in the papers here has been a bit rough for the navy, and it looks like the Astute's commander has had it for this one.
