Talent RAMP breaks new ground

摘要

The Trafalgar class nuclear-powered attack submarine (SSN) HMS Talent has begun a 13-month Revalida-tion and Assisted Maintenance Period (RAMP), being undertaken by Babcock at Devonport Royal Dockyard, which will include a number of firsts. This is the first RAMP to be started since the Contract-ing for Availability (CfA) approach to Trafalgar class submarine support was introduced earlier this year, geared to optimising submarine availability.
