HMS Ambush (S120)
Ship nameHMS Ambush (S120)

HMS Ambush (S120) is an Astute-class submarine of the Royal Navy, built by BAE Systems Submarines at their Barrow-in-Furness shipyard. The submarine is powered by a nuclear reactor and features advanced sonar and radar systems, similar to those used on the Vanguard-class submarine and Trafalgar-class submarine. The Astute-class submarine program has involved collaboration with various organizations, including Rolls-Royce Holdings, Thales Group, and the University of Manchester. The construction of the submarine has also been supported by the Ministry of Defence (United Kingdom), with input from Admiral Sir George Zambellas and Admiral Sir Philip Jones.

● Introduction

The HMS Ambush (S120) is one of the seven Astute-class submarines planned for the Royal Navy, with the lead boat being HMS Astute (S119). The Astute-class submarines are designed to replace the Swiftsure-class submarine and Trafalgar-class submarine fleets, and have been involved in various exercises and operations, including the NATO-led Operation Active Endeavour and Operation Ellamy. The submarines have also been equipped with Tomahawk (missile) cruise missiles, which have been used in operations such as the Iraq War and the Libyan Civil War. The Royal Navy has worked closely with other navies, including the United States Navy and the French Navy, to develop the capabilities of the Astute-class submarine.

● Design and Construction

The HMS Ambush (S120) was designed by BAE Systems Submarines and constructed at the Barrow-in-Furness shipyard, with the keel being laid down in 2003 and the submarine being launched in 2011. The submarine features a nuclear reactor and a pumpjet propulsion system, similar to those used on the Vanguard-class submarine and Dreadnought-class submarine. The Astute-class submarines have been built using advanced materials and techniques, including the use of titanium and composite materials, and have been designed to be highly stealthy and versatile, with the ability to conduct a range of tasks, including anti-submarine warfare and intelligence gathering. The construction of the submarine has involved collaboration with various organizations, including Rolls-Royce Holdings, Thales Group, and the University of Manchester, and has been supported by the Ministry of Defence (United Kingdom), with input from Admiral Sir George Zambellas and Admiral Sir Philip Jones.

● Operational History

The HMS Ambush (S120) has been involved in various exercises and operations, including the NATO-led Operation Active Endeavour and Operation Ellamy. The submarine has also been equipped with Tomahawk (missile) cruise missiles, which have been used in operations such as the Iraq War and the Libyan Civil War. The Royal Navy has worked closely with other navies, including the United States Navy and the French Navy, to develop the capabilities of the Astute-class submarine. The submarine has also participated in exercises such as the Exercise Joint Warrior and the Exercise Trident Juncture, and has been supported by the Royal Fleet Auxiliary, with ships such as the RFA Fort Victoria (A387). The HMS Ambush (S120) has been commanded by various officers, including Commander Peter Pipkin and Commander Tom Herman, and has been based at the HMNB Devonport and the HMNB Clyde.

● Characteristics

The HMS Ambush (S120) features a nuclear reactor and a pumpjet propulsion system, similar to those used on the Vanguard-class submarine and Dreadnought-class submarine. The submarine has a length of 97 meters and a beam of 11 meters, and is equipped with Tomahawk (missile) cruise missiles and Spearfish (torpedo) torpedoes. The submarine has a crew of 98 and can dive to a depth of over 300 meters. The Astute-class submarines have been designed to be highly stealthy and versatile, with the ability to conduct a range of tasks, including anti-submarine warfare and intelligence gathering. The submarine is also equipped with advanced sonar and radar systems, including the Thales Group's Sonar 2076 and the BAE Systems' Radar Type 1007.

● Career

The HMS Ambush (S120) was commissioned into the Royal Navy in 2013 and has since been involved in various exercises and operations. The submarine has been based at the HMNB Devonport and the HMNB Clyde, and has been supported by the Royal Fleet Auxiliary, with ships such as the RFA Fort Victoria (A387).
