HMS ''Victorious'' is the second of the Royal Navy. ''Victorious'' carries the Trident ballistic missile, the UK's nuclear deterrent. ''Victorious'' was built at Barrow-in-Furness by Vickers Shipbuilding and Engineering Ltd (now BAE Systems Submarine Solutions), was launched in September 1993, and commissioned in January 1995.〔 She has two crews, "Port" and "Starboard".〔(Royal Navy bridge card, 11 February 2011 )〕 ==Operational history== In November 2000, while travelling on the surface, ''Victorious'' grounded on Skelmorlie Bank in the upper Firth of Clyde in Scotland.〔(Hansard Hand Written Answers ), publications.parliament.uk, 2 Nov 2010〕 ''Victorious'' was involved in a minor collision with a United States Coast Guard ship in July 2001. The Coast Guard ship became tangled in the fibre optic cables of the submarine's sonar system which disabled its turbines. ''Victorious'' was not damaged in the incident. She became the second of the class to refit, during which time she was fitted with a 'Core H' reactor core ensuring that the boat will not need to refuel again until the end of its service life.〔(Royal Navy - HMS Victorious ), royalnavy.mod.uk〕 In 2008, she underwent sea trials before resuming patrols in 2009. In 2013, Victorious completed the UK's 100th deterrent patrol.〔(Victorious summer ends with divisions for submarine’s crew ), royalnavy.mod.uk, 26/07/2013〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「HMS Victorious (S29)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
