Description:
HMS Astute is the lead vessel of the Royal Navy’s Astute-class, launched in 2007 as part of the UK’s advanced nuclear-powered attack submarine fleet. Combining stealth, endurance, and precision strike capability, she represents the cutting edge of British submarine technology.
This 30-inch handcrafted model is constructed using the traditional plank-on-frame method and premium woods like Red Cedar, Teak, and Mahogany. From the angular sail (conning tower) to the seamless hull contours and bow-mounted sonar, every element showcases her high-tech profile and stealth-focused design. Depending on your customization and specifications, production takes 3 to 6 months.

History:
HMS Astute is the first of the United Kingdom’s Astute-class nuclear-powered attack submarines, commissioned in 2010. Built by BAE Systems, the Astute-class represents the latest in British undersea warfare technology.
At approximately 97 meters (318 feet) long and displacing 7,400 tons submerged, HMS Astute is equipped with advanced sonar, Tomahawk cruise missiles, torpedoes, and state-of-the-art stealth features. The submarine can perform a wide range of missions, including anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare, intelligence gathering, and special forces support.
HMS Astute’s combination of speed, firepower, and stealth makes it a key asset for the Royal Navy, securing British maritime interests well into the 21st century.
