Five attack submarines stand out as the best in the world today: Russia's Sierra II Class (Project 945A Kondor) and Yasen-Class (Project 885), the UK's Astute-class, and the U.S.'s Virginia-class and Seawolf-class.
HMS Anson, the Royal Navy's newest Astute-class submarine, recently conducted successful sea trials off the U.S. east coast and the Caribbean, including the Bahamas' AUTEC.
