The Royal Navy’s emphasis on stealth is already visible in the external appearance of their existing submarines. Since the 1980s submarines have been fitted sound reducing “anechoic tiles.”
And the current generation Astute Class has the anechoic coating designed in. This leads to a better fit and optimal performance compared to adding the tiles after it is built.

Submarines are fascinating. Full on cold war stuff.
This bit is interesting. Even with women all through the military, it has to change the dynamic having women on a sub. Maybe I'm old fashioned. There has been studies of the sex drive of submariners, something along the lines of 'it all switching off' while they are at sea, and only starts to kick in again just before they get into port. You must get rather bored stooging around underwater for months at a time. How else to amuse yourself?
Also it is the first Royal Navy submarine to be built with separate female crew quarters, toilets and washing facilities, along with gym facilities.

Not that there is anything . . . |

That Boat Pic used to make People gasp WoW. Now it is only 2 or 3 outboards more than the average Boat in Miami Florida and as their Outboards are 400+ Hp, this boat is only a tad more powerful. This ine at least was built for a purpose.
One boat I have seen had 4x 575Hp outboards on it. Few of these Miami people have clue how to drive a Boat and often go no further than Marina to nearest Sandbar in the inlet and anchor up for the day. It's all about image. They must have more money than G030's Cows poo.
Check out Haulover Inlet on Youtube.
