Such a tragedy. It does appear to be jinxed. From what I read about it, it had a tremendous future with a lot of capability. A lot of money has been invested in it which would be a great loss to the UK Royal Navy and to the United Kingdom.
And once again can I say "it was absolutely nothing to do with me".

I know all about the Astute, its diving depth, speed, capability, armaments, propulsion systems etc. Can't tell you though.
Does anyone know anything about the Astute Submarine built by U.K.?
I know the company who build it dont pay their employees enough.

They don't pay them enough because they know the locals are living at the end of a 30 mile cul-de-sac and are not willing to move out to get paid the usual rate.
Common knowledge look on navy web site
