The British navy is in the process of designing a massive military submarine.

The British Navy has entered into a £15.4 million agreement with Msubs for the delivery of the first military submarine.

Two years later, the submarine will be handed over to the British Navy. Its goal is to protect critical infrastructure and monitor the depths of the sea.

The project was named Cetus, after the sea monster Ketu according to ancient Greek and Roman mythology. This is the first step towards creating an unmanned submarine that will work alongside the crews of manned submarines, including Astute nuclear submarines and the like. Unmanned submarines can perform their tasks independently.

Cetus is capable of covering distances of up to 1,000 nautical miles. It can also dive deeper than classic British submarines.

The submarine is 12 meters long, 2.2 meters in diameter and weighs 17 tons.

The submarine carries a container that can be delivered anywhere in the world. The Royal Navy said in a statement that Cetus will be the most sophisticated and largest unmanned submarine in Europe.
