HMS Solent (P262)

HMS Solent was an S-class submarine of the Royal Navy, and part of the Third Group built of that class. She was built by Cammell Laird and launched on 8 June 1944.

She served during the Second World War, spending most of her career in the Pacific Far East, often in company with her sister ship, HMS Sleuth (P261). Together they sank fifteen Japanese sailing vessels and the Japanese auxiliary minesweeper Wa 3. Solent then went on to sink a Japanese patrol vessel and a Japanese landing craft, whilst damaging another.

Solent survived the Second World War, and was sold off, arriving at Troon on 28 August 1961 for breaking up.
