Royal Navy's new attack submarine arrives at Faslane
HMS Agamemnon arrived on the River Clyde after departing Barrow
The Royal Navy's newest Astute-class nuclear-powered submarine has arrived at its home port in Scotland.
HMS Agamemnon will undergo sea trials and operational preparation after reaching HM Naval Base Clyde at Faslane.
The hunter-killer vessel, the sixth in the Navy's arsenal, is equipped with tomahawk land-attack missiles and torpedoes capable of striking targets up to 30 miles away.
The Navy's submarine rear admiral, Andy Perks, described HMS Agamemnon's arrival as a "significant milestone".
The 318ft-long (97m) vessel joins other Astute-class subs including HMS Astute, Ambush, Artful, Audacious and Anson, in the Navy's fleet.
A seventh sub, HMS Achilles, is currently under construction.
Astute-class submarines are the Navy's most advanced and powerful class of attack subs.
The Astute-class sub conducted its first dive at sea on the journey to Faslane
HMS Agamemnon departed its construction home at BAE systems in Barrow last week and went through its first dive at sea in the Navy's Inner Hebrides exercise areas en-route.
