	(1990-1994) Upholder Class
		HMS Upholder was the first of an entirely new class of diesel-electric submarine to be built for the Royal Navy.
		When HMS UPHOLDER eventually entered service in 1989, she was already a year late into service and had the distinction of being the first fighting vessel to join the fleet which could not, albeit for technical reasons, fire a shot in anger - her doors were sealed awaiting a refit to repair the problem.
		The new HMS Upholder was originally presented with the official design but, after lengthy discussions, has been allowed to revert to Wanklyn's crest.

		HMS Upholder was one of a class of coastal submarines built just before World War II and designed for training surface forces in antisubmarine warfare.
		At about 2030 on May 24, Upholder was recharging her batteries on the surface when Wanklyn sighted three large troopships and four or five destroyers steaming at 20 knots—nearly twice Upholder's operational speed.
		Such was the standard of skill and daring, that the ship and her officers and men became an inspiration, not only to their own flotilla, but to the fleet of which it was a part, and Malta, where for so long HMS Upholder was based.

	FREE MARKET FAIRY TALES: On This Day ... in 1915 & Others
		In the Mediterranean, south of Sicily, the submarine HMS Upholder, commanded by Lieutenant Commander Wanklyn, managed at immense risk to penetrate a heavily escorted Axis convoy and sink a large troopship - the 18,000 ton liner Conte Rosso - bound for North Africa.
		The attack was made even more difficult by a defect with the submarine's listening gear, forcing her to remain at periscope depth for the entire penetration of the convoy.
		Upholder then had to endure a heavy depth charge retaliation from the escorts, but survived to sink some 100,000 tons of shipping before being lost the following year.

		She was astride the main Trapani Tripoli route and targets abounded; unfortunately a group of three passing merchantmen were northbound in ballast and the remaining four torpedoes were conserved for loaded targets.
		The Upholder was still perilously close to this point but, resisting the temptation to break into a noisy gallop, Wanklyn slowly put distance between himself and what was an unco-ordinated assault.
		Shortly after, on her l4th patrol, the Upholder was part of a submarine line off Tripoli, a trap to intercept three more large troopships.
