	Oberon class submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Oberon class was a thirteen-ship class of diesel-electric submarines of the Royal Navy, and were based on the successful Porpoise-class submarine.
		The Oberons were arguably the best conventional submarine class of its time, with an astonishing reputation for quietness that allowed it to exist into the 21st century until replaced by newer classes such as the Collins and Victoria classes in Australia and Canada respectively.
		The Oberon class was briefly succeeded in RN service by the Upholder class submarine, later leased to the Canadian Navy as the Victoria class.

		The Oberon-class were a thirteen ship class of diesel-electric submarines of the Royal Navy, and were based on the successful Porpoise-class submarine.
		The Oberons were far more successful in the export market than their predecessor, with fourteen boats being operated by Australia, Brazil, Canada and Chile.
		The class differed from the Porpoises in that they had fibre glass in the hull and other additional improvements helped the class become even more silent than the Porpoises.

	HMS Ocelot
		Although similar in many respects, the Oberon class replaced the Porpoise class submarines at the beginning of the 1960s when the cold war with the Soviet Union was at its most tense.
		The class was quite unique as the casing was constructed of glass fibre and alloy, the first time a plastic had been used in submarine construction.
		During their time Oberon class submarines were considered as one of the finest in existence and many were sold to overseas navies, including Australia and Canada.

	OBERON class submarine
		The OBERON class was a follow-on to the earlier PORPOISE class, and they appeared almost identical.

		Two unidentified OBERON class subs lie alongside; this is a good study in contrast, as the outside sub has recieved the new Triton sonar, while the inside (background) sub has not.

		The Victoria class consists of four diesel-powered Canadian Navy submarines acquired from the Royal Navy (formerly known as the Upholder class) and replacing the old Oberon -class subs.
		They are essentially identical to modern nuclear submarines (with the distinctive nuclear shape and sonar-deflecting tiles) but run on diesel engines instead of nuclear reactors (which limits their range, but conversely makes them quieter and more manoeuvrable).
		HMAS J2 HMAS J2 was a J class submarine built for the Royal Navy by HM Dockyard at Portsmouth in Hampshire and launched on 6 November 1915.
