2010年10月22日，“伏擊號”尚在組裝車間時的樣子。圖片來源：CFP國際在線專稿：據英國《每日郵報》12月13日報道，英國皇家海軍最新的核潛艇“伏擊號”即將於本周下水，它使用的核反應堆足以為南安普頓這樣的城市提供能量，它永遠不需要補充燃料，其制導導彈可以打擊1600公裡外的敵人。這艘“超級潛艇”還能從海水中提取氧氣和淡水，足夠98名船員度過危機。
“伏擊號”潛艇全長88.7米，與足球場長度一樣，寬相當於四輛雙層巴士，高與12層樓房差不多，其造價高達12億英鎊(126.6億元人民幣)。常規巡邏可以持續10周，但理論上可以待在海底25年。潛艇上攜帶38枚導彈，包括射程2000公裡的戰斧式巡航導彈，另外配備“旗魚”重型魚雷。“伏擊號”航速約為20節，每天航程800公裡。
盡管“伏擊號”潛艇比被其替代的“敏捷”和“特拉法爾加”級核潛艇大一倍，但聲音卻更小。其OuHer推進器比海豚發出的聲音更小，敵方艦艇幾乎無法察覺。而“伏擊號”核潛艇上的聲納和雷達也非常敏感，可以發現5000公裡外的船隻。這就意味著，即使“伏擊號”潛艇待在英吉利海峽中，如果有船從紐約港經過，它也能知道。
海軍官員希望，這艘新潛艇不要發生同類潛艇的災難。近來，英國皇家海軍的核動力潛艦“果敢號”接連發生故障，不得不兩次拖回船廠大修，僅第一次維修費就花了700萬英鎊(7400萬元人民幣)。 (楊柳)

據英國《每日郵報》12月13日報道，英國最大的核潛艇、造價12億英鎊的“伏擊號”即將於16日下水。這艘最新的核潛艇在未來25年服役期間將不用補充燃料，並能用先進的導彈擊中1000英裡外的目標。
英國皇家海軍這艘超級潛艇能用海水制造氧氣和淡水，從而為潛艇上98個服役人員提供生命支持，目前該艇是否會招募女兵尚未可知。盡管“伏擊號”比即將被取代的“斯威夫茨爾號”和“特拉法爾加號”潛艇大一半，但它卻更安靜。它的螺旋槳制造的噪音據說比一隻小海豚制造的聲音還要小，因此幾乎不可能被敵方探測到。
另外，新潛艇的聲吶和雷達系統非常靈敏，能探測到約3000海裡外的輪船活動。這就意味著，它在英吉利海峽就能知道紐約港是否有船離開。
“伏擊號”比美國的航天飛機還要復雜，航速超過20節，一天能行駛500英裡，在不浮出水面情況下，能夠環繞地球一周。它長291英尺(約88米)，寬度相當於4個雙層巴士，有12層樓高，通常一次巡航需要10周。
“伏擊號”將搭載38枚射程為1240英裡的導彈和一些重型魚雷。16日，“伏擊號”將在英國坎布裡亞下水，屆時，這艘重約7400噸的潛艇將會從棚裡被拉到濕船塢接受更多的設備安裝和測試。

準備開拔，我們的核利維坦：英國曾建造的最巨大規模潛艇
Set to launch, our nuclear Leviathan: The enormous scale of the biggest submarine ever built in Britain
By Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 8:38 AM on 14th December 2010
Her nuclear reactor could power a city the size of Southampton, she will never need refuelling and she can use her guided missiles to pulverise an enemy more than 1,000 miles away.
Meet HMS Ambush, the Royal Navy’s newest hunter-killer submarine. The ‘super-sub’ is able to make oxygen and fresh water from seawater, to keep the 98 crew — it has not yet been decided if this will include women — alive in time of crisis.
And, despite being 50 per cent bigger than the Swiftsure and Trafalgar subs she will replace, Ambush is quieter. Her propellers are said to make less noise than a baby dolphin — making her virtually undetectable to enemy vessels.
Of course, that is if enemy vessels can get near her. The submarine’s sonar and radar are so sensitive that she can detect ships a staggering 3,000 nautical miles away.
It means that if she was sitting in the English Channel she would know if a ship left New York's harbour. A true titan of the deep, the £1.2billion warship will be launched at Barrow-in-Furness in Cumbria on Thursday.
But naval chiefs will nervously hope the newly-named craft will not suffer the same catalogue of disasters that has recently befallen her sister vessel, HMS Astute. Astute’s captain, Commander Andy Coles, was relieved of his duties after the submarine ran aground on a sandbank off the Isle of Skye in October.
During the rescue, a tug collided with the sub, causing £7million of damage. Last week, she limped back to her home port of Faslane after a mechanical failure at sea. Ambush will be unveiled and officially named by Lady Anne Soar, the wife of the Royal Navy’s Commander in Chief Fleet, Admiral Sir Trevor Soar.
After the ceremony, the awesome 7,400-tonne sub will be wheeled from her shed and lowered into the wet dock for further outfitting and testing. And having come in massively over-budget and five years late, the Navy is expecting nothing less than a top-of-the-range vessel.
More complex than the U.S. Space Shuttles and able to circumnavigate the globe without surfacing, Ambush is 291ft long — the same length as a football pitch — as wide as four double-decker buses and 12 storeys high. A typical patrol lasts ten weeks, but she could theoretically stay underwater for her entire 25-year lifespan.
HMS Ambush will carry 38 missiles — a mixture of Tomahawk cruise missiles, which have a range of 1,240 miles, and Spearfish heavyweight torpedoes to target other ships and submarines.
Her nuclear-powered engine will propel her through the water at more than 20 knots, allowing her to travel 500 miles a day. In this image released by the Navy, a section of the hull behind the conning tower has been intriguingly obscured for security reasons.
BAE Systems is building seven Astute-class subs. The £6.7 billion project is already £1.4 billion over budget, after being beset by problems and delays.
