   The tenth HMS Vanguard (S28) of the Royal Navy is the lead boat of her class of Trident ballistic missile-armed submarines. The sub is based at HMNB Clyde, Faslane. Vanguard was built at Barrow-in-Furness by Vickers Shipbuilding and Engineering Ltd (now BAE Systems Submarine Solutions), was launched on 4 March 1992, and commissioned on 14 August 1993. The submarine's first captain was Captain David Russell. In February 2002, Vanguard began a two-year refit at HMNB Devonport. The refit was completed in June 2004 and in October 2005, Vanguard completed her return to service trials (Demonstration and Shakedown Operations) with the firing of an unarmed Trident missile. During this refit, Vanguard was illegally boarded by a pair of anti-nuclear protestors. On 4 February 2009, Vanguard collided with the French submarine Triomphant in the Atlantic. She was reportedly towed into Faslane in Scotland, under her own power arriving on 14 February 2009.
