HMS Swiftsure (S126)

HMS Swiftsure was the lead ship of her class of nuclear fleet submarines built for the British Royal Navy. Swiftsure was decommissioned in 1992, due to damage suffered to the pressure hull during trials.

Having served on HMS Swiftsure for several years AND took it to Rosyth for disposal, I have no recollection of any damage to the pressure hull during trials. We completed sea trails and work-up and headed for Rosyth for refit, after a partial refit the decision came to scrap HMS Swiftsure.
