HMS Vengeance returned to Faslane Sunday after a 217-day submerged patrol, setting a Royal Navy record, The Guardian reported.

The Guardian linked the long deployment to slow maintenance of the aging fleet and concerns about the effect on crews.

The Guardian also said senior government members were expected to greet Vengeance's crew at Faslane.
