HMS Upholder

Laid down - Nov 83
Launched - Dec 86
Commissioned - Jun 90
Decommissioned - Apr 94


The Upholder Class was a victim, allegedly, of the 1993 Defence Review. In reality the MOD realised what a bag of s#!t they were and decided to get rid! In Apr 98 Canada agreed to lease-to-buy the 4 Upholder Class submarines from the UK (suckers ). The first, HMCS Victoria (ex-HMS Unseen), was delivered to Halifax in Oct 00.
