BAE are making a new class of nuclear submarine for the Royal Navy. I don’t know much about submarines but this one looks pretty funky and has some excellent features.

[list]
[*]The sub is powered by using a Rolls-Royce PWR2 reactor which will provide enough power for the sub never to need refueling in its entire 25 year service life!
[*]It would allow circumnavigation 40 times without refueling!
[*]The sub also makes its own water and oxygen [i](im not sure how it does this)[/i] meaning it doesn’t need to surface
