STARTING THE VESSEL
After entering through the forward Access Hatch near the front of the boat, proceed through the door labeled "Compartment 1/2 Bulkdead". This will bring you into the sub's command center where almost all of the vessel's features are controlled.

Proceed to the back of the Command Center where you will find the reactor control console. There you will see 2 buttons, one labeled "Start Reactor" and one labeled "Reactor Pumps". Turn both of these on and wait a minute for the boiler pressure to start to rise.

Once the boiler pressure has started to rise, head back to the front of the Command Center where you will find the helm. Next to the helm you will find a lever labeled "Clutch". Advancing this lever should start the sub on her way.

DIVING THE VESSEL
From the navigation console in the Command Center(the 2nd console with 2 large blue screens) you should see 2 Buttons labeled "Fill Aft Ballast" and "Fill Forward Ballast". Press both of these buttons to begin filling the ballast. Once the ballast is significantly filled, input your desired depth in the "Target Depth" keypad and press the button labeled "Toggle Autodepth" to dive the submarine.

I recommend pressing the button on the ceiling labeled "Toggle Deck Features" to retract the mooring points before diving.

FIRING THE TORPEDOES
To fire a Torpedo, make your way back through the door labeled "Compartment 1/2 Bulkhead" and to your right, you should see a hatch on the floor labeled "Torpedo Bay". That hatch will lead you to the torpedo room. On either side of the Torpedo Room you should see 2 consoles with buttons to Fill and Empty the Torpedo Tubes. Use these buttons to flood the desired torpedo tube with water, then proceed back to the Command Center.

Once you are back in the Command Center, head to the Weapons Control Panel located behind the helm. There press the button labeled "Open Torpedo Tube" for your desired torpedo tube. Once the tube is open, turn the key at the bottom of the panel to unlock the firing buttons. Pressing the firing button will launch the torpedo.

SHIP HISTORY
The Trafalgar-Class Attack Submarines were commissioned by the Royal Navy to replace the similar Swiftsure-Class Submarines. These vessels were originally designed to count the threat posed by newer Soviet submarine classes like the Akula-Class, providing the British Navy with an attack boat with a more advanced nuclear reactor and the ability to fire the Harpoon anti-ship missile(although these were almost never carried on board).

The first vessel of the class, the HMS Trafalgar, entered service in 1983. The second boat in the class was the HMS Turbulent in 1984, then the HMS Tireless in 1985, the HMS Torbay in 1987, the HMS Trenchant in 1989, the HMS Talent in 1990 & the HMS Triumph in 1991.

In the early 90s these vessels began carrying the Tomahawk Block IV Cruise Missile, giving these boats the ability to strike targets far inland. Trafalgar-Class boats would use their Tomahawks against targets in Afganistan in 2001, Iraq in 2003 & Lybia in 2011.

With the commissioning of the HMS Astute, the first boat in the Astute-Class, the Royal Navy has begun the process of retiring the Trafalgar-Class, a process that is nearly complete, with only 2 ships(HMS Talent and HMS Triumph) still in active service. Both vessels are planned to be decommissioned within the next few years.

NOTES:
-WARNING: the nuclear reactor on this sub is... um... temperamental... and tends to have issues frequently
-The torpedoes on this vessel are armed with proximity warheads to handle with care.
