RN:
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.

A portion of the Pacific Fleet in 1945.
At the time, the core of the fleet was made up of six fleet carriers. Five of those fleet carriers are seen in this photo. The carriers are HMS Indomitable, HMS Indefatigable, HMS Illustrious, HMS Victorious, and HMS Formidable (HMS Implacable was the missing sixth fleet carrier). The carriers are joined by HMS Unicorn, a light carrier that served as an aircraft maintenance ship.
The Pacific Fleet was the mightiest fleet ever assembled by the Royal Navy. In addition to the six fleet carriers at the core, it also had four light carriers, nine escort carriers, five battleships, two aircraft maintenance ships, eleven cruisers, four support cruisers, and numerous escort vessels in addition to the fleet train.
