my own silly headline because of this quote:
"Speaking to the BBC last month, HMS Astute's commanding officer, Commander Andy Coles, said: "We have a brand new method of controlling the submarine, which is by platform management system, rather than the old conventional way of doing everything of using your hands.

"This is all fly-by-wire technology including only an auto pilot rather than a steering column." "

from

Nuclear submarine runs aground

Also putting these two quotes together:
"Aside from attack capabilities, it is able to sit in waters off the coast undetected "
with
"He said: "When I woke up this morning and looked out my bedroom window I could see the submarine."

has me in fits of giggles.

HMS Astute is meant to run a version of Microsoft's Windows for its control system. Comforting....
