There are currently 4 Vanguard class, 5 Trafalgar class and 3 Astute class in service. But there are also 7 first generation nuclear subs retired at Rosyth and 9 second generation nuclear subs retired at Devonport.

I was always under the impression the Royal Navy only operated a couple of submarines yet looking on Google Earth I can see 10 submarines docked at HM Naval Base St Levan Gate. How many submarines do the Royal Navy currently operate?
