A TRIUMPH OF AN ENTRANCE

HMS Triumph makes a spectacular entrance into Devonport this morning with speculation she might have been involved in following HMS Vanguard’s exit from Plymouth yesterday evening, and ensuring the UK Ballistic submarine was not shadowed by Russian submarines.

HMS Triumph features both cruise missiles and Spearfish torpedoes, in addition to Thales Underwater Systems 2076 stage four integrated passive / active search-and-attack sonar suite, collision-avoidance radar, two SSE Mk8 launchers and five 533mm torpedo tubes, in addition to Tomahawk Block IV land-attack cruise missiles (TLAM).
