HMS Agamemnon emerged from the Devonshire Dock Hall at Barrow on 1st October 2024, marking the transition from the construction phase to the test and commissioning phase.

Following the roll out from the DDH, she will be lowered into the water on the shiplift and moved to the test and commissioning quay where her reactor will go critical for the first time.

She is also the 6th boat of the much-delayed Astute class and she will probably now commission next year, likely in the shipyard, well ahead of beginning sea trials, as was the case with HMS Anson. It is important to note that the rollout frees up space needed in the DDH to begin the assembly of HMS Dreadnought, first of the much larger SSBNs that is due to be commissioned in the early 2030s.

For @Bombardier

In July, a historic moment took place in the 19th Regiment Royal Artillery - Scottish Gunners, when they went on training in their new colors for the first time. 5 (Gibraltar 1779-1783) Battery RA and 127 (Dragon) Battery RA used this exercise to test fire and maneuver tactics using ARCHER.
At the same time, 28/143 Battery (Tombs's Troop) RA deployed with the L118 light gun to provide live fire support to tactical groups for a period of 2 weeks. They were visited by the new commander of the 1st Deep Recce Strike Brigade.
