British Royal Marines have released a video demonstrating an unusual method for boarding a submarine at the end of a covert mission. This method involves crossing over the propeller and climbing up the rear slope of the submarine at high speed.
Complex Operation and High Coordination
The operations officer of this unit stated, "This level of complexity and coordination with live assets has not been achieved by 148 Battery in nearly 30 years." This exercise involved maneuvers in harsh surface conditions with inflatable assault boats. While the submarine was rocking in heavy waves, the Marine boat teams reached the rear slope of the submarine by passing through the submerged propeller and between two rows of the Type-212A submarine, emerging from the water and landing on it.

Impact of Operational Limitations on the British Navy
The use of a German submarine for entry highlights the existing limitations in accessing the British Navy's attack submarines. The last Astute-class attack submarine went to sea in late May, and this class has been undergoing various maintenance stages for over four months. The sixth and newest Astute-class submarine, HMS Agamemnon, was delivered to HM Naval Base Clyde on October 2 after 13 years of construction. This submarine will soon enter sea trials but is not yet operationally ready.
