The Royal Navy has announced the successful testing of the latest version of the Spearfish Mod 1 torpedo.

Conducted over three days off the coast of Scotland, this test marks the first instance of the next-generation Spearfish being tested on a nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine.

This test ensures that Royal Navy submarines remain equipped with modern torpedoes, maintaining their combat readiness to face contemporary threats.

The successful trials indicate that these submarines can now effectively counter current maritime threats while at sea. The tests involved the torpedo engaging surface and submerged targets, allowing the crew to operate the new weapon, test its firing capabilities from the submarine’s combat system, and confirm command and control over the weapon.
