Silent, hidden and operating where others can't — the Submarine Service gathers intelligence from beneath the surface.
Armed with Spearfish torpedos, a submarine can destroy a target before the enemy is even aware it’s being watched.
A critical capability that protects the UK and contributes to global security.
Submariners arrive for training from all walks of life, and leave with the skills and resilience to go beneath.

Two different types of submarine form the foundation of our fleet, with advanced uncrewed support and the mighty Dreadnought Class joining them.
Powerful hunt and attack submarines, the Astute Class combines some of the world’s most advanced intelligence gathering technology and weaponry.
The UK’s nuclear deterrent force operates in near-total isolation. Incredibly quiet and rarely seen, the Vanguard Class submarine carries our Trident ballistic missiles.
Found in a Scottish inlet, HM Naval Base Clyde is the home of the Submarine Service.
01HMNB Clyde has a new, state-of-the-art extension which will train the next generation of submariners.
The new Trident Training Facility has been opened to equip and prepare submariners for the arrival of Dreadnought class submarines.
02HMNB Clyde creates opportunities for thousands of businesses in the region, including advanced engineering and technology firms.
An operation this size and importance needs skilled workers in roles ranging from nuclear and construction to security and catering.
One of the largest employers in the region, we’re proud to be part of the community and economy.
