Repair bill will run into millions as nuclear submarine returns to base

Britain’s most advanced nuclear-powered submarine has returned to base after running aground off the Scottish coast, as the MoD faces a repair bill expected to run into millions.

It was confirmed the MoD would carry out a “full and thorough” investigation into what happened to HMS Astute, which made its way back to the Faslane base on the Clyde.
