Trident submarine returns home after record-breaking undersea patrol

A Royal Navy submarine carrying Trident nuclear missiles has returned to its Scottish base after a record-breaking 217 days spent submerged on patrol. Defence Secretary Wes Streeting was at HM Naval Base Clyde to welcome them home after the longest deployment at sea for a British vessel.

Crew members could be seen standing on HMS Vengeance as it travelled up Gare Loch earlier, accompanied by some smaller Naval support vessels and tug boats.
