'World's most advanced' nuke sub towed free

LONDON — A British nuclear-powered submarine described as the "world's most advanced" that ran aground off the coast of Scotland has been towed free, the Royal Navy said.

The HMS Astute — the Royal Navy's newest and largest attack submarine — was floated free at high tide Friday with the help of three support vesels.

The sub ran into trouble Friday morning in shallow waters near a road bridge linking the Isle of Skye to the mainland when the vesel's rudder apparently became stuck on a shingle bank, according to British media reports.

In a statement, the defense ministry said the accident was not a nuclear incident and that no injuries had been reported.
