SSN(R) edit

I noticed there was a recent attempt to add mention of a new Astute Nuclear Submarine Replacement (SSN(R)) proramme to the infobox, but it was reverted as "cite isn't sufficient". But there seems to be other sources as well,[1][2][3][4][5] perhaps enough to add mention of SSN(R) somewhere in the arricle? Thoughts? - wolf 05:10, 6 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Good finds. I've only looked at navylookout and Forbes as I recognise those, but they look good to me. Mark83 (talk) 06:05, 6 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Clarification required edit

In the Propulsion and general specifications section, final paragraph, a submariner is quoted speaking about "holding a [mock enemy] submarine" in sea exercises, in reference to the quality of the Astute class's sonar. Could this be clarified please? Does it refer to tracking another submarine? If so, perhaps there could also be some discussion about the issues of tracking another sub using sonar; for example how the sub doing the tracking avoids detection by the tracked sub, or if it does give away its own position what are the ramifications of this for submarine-on-submarine warfare? 2A01:4C8:1485:5869:B8B0:55B3:CBF1:6660 (talk) 13:41, 22 September 2021 (UTC)AJFReply
