Agamemnon, the latest Royal Navy Astute class attack submarine, has been launched at our site in Cumbria. Named after the ancient Greek king, Agamemnon is the sixth of seven Astute submarines being built at our historic Barrow shipyard and home of UK submarine building. The nuclear-powered boat, which weighs in at 7,400 tonnes and is 97 metres long, rolled out of the Devonshire Dock Hall and entered the water for the first time. Agamemnon will now begin the next phase of its test and commissioning programme, before leaving Barrow for sea trials with the Royal Navy. Join our team 🔗 http://baes.co/WgI350TC1rU

“I’ve worked on lots of amazing technology since joining the company, but the coolest would have to be the Striker® II helmet-mounted display.
