| Build Group: | SSN 4 |
| Fate: | |
| Cracks were found in the reactor in 1992 and was decommissioned the same year. Swiftsure is currently in dry dock at Rosyth, in Scotland, where it is being carefully dismantled. An estimated 90% of her total weight will be repurposed, with some of the high-quality steel used to create components for future Royal Navy submarines. Swiftsure is set to be first of the UK's decommissioned nuclear submarines to be fully dismantled by the end of 2026. | |
Hunter Killers will follow the careers of four daring British submarine captains who risked their lives to keep the rest of us safe, their exploits consigned to the shadows until now.
Their experiences encompass the span of the Cold War, from voyages in WW2-era submarines under Arctic ice to nuclear-powered espionage missions in Soviet-dominated seas.
