A British Royal Navy warship collided with a Russian submarine while on patrol in the North Atlantic Ocean in late 2020, it has been revealed.

The collision took place when HMS Northumberland, a Type 23 frigate, was searching for the submarine after it disappeared from the ship’s view in the Arctic Circle.
