		Royal Navy submarines classes, including ballistic missile submarines, are letter-based; thus, all boats of the Swiftsure class begin with the letter S and the Trafalgars, the letter T. Though this has been the way with all Royal Navy submarines, they were originally designated alphanumerically, such as HMS A1 of the A-class of 1903.
		Submarines did not have a major impact on the outcome of the war, but they did portend their coming importance to naval warfare and increased interest in their use in naval warfare.
		The Soviet Union suffered the loss of at least four submarines during this period: K-129 was lost in 1968, K 8 in 1970, K -219 in 1986, and Komsomolets (the only Mike class submarine) in 1989 (which held a depth record among the military submarines—1000 m).

	Submarine Information - TextSheet.com
		Submarines are also used for marine and freshwater science and for work at depths too great for human divers.
		Submarines are useful to a military because they can approach their attack victim without necessarily being detected, then strike at close range.
		The first military submarine was the Turtle, a hand-powered spherical contraption designed by American David Bushnell that accommodated a single man. During the American Revolutionary War, the Turtle attempted and failed to sink a British warship, the HMS Eagle in New York harbor on September 7, 1776.

	Resolution Information - TextSheet.com
		A resolution may also be a non-binding measure passed by a legislative or executive body, such as a congress or parliament, state legislature or a city council.
		An example would be a resolution of support for a nation's troops in battle, which carries no legal weight, but is enacted for moral support.
		A war for example may come to a temporary resolution in the form of a cease-fire agreement, or a more permanent one with a surrender or truce.

	Resolution Class Ballistic Missile Submarines
		The advantages of having a submarine based nuclear deterrent were obvious: nuclear weapons could be hidden beneath the waves and launched from anywhere.
		Resolution and Repulse were ordered from the lead yard, Vickers Armstrong in Barrow-in- Furness while Cammal Laird at Birkenhead won the contract for Renown and Revenge.
		The design of the submarine itself was basically a modification of the Valiant Class Fleet Submarine, but much enlarged to incorporate the missile compartment between the fin and the nuclear reactor.

		The first submarine, and first military submarine was the Turtle (submarine)''Turtle'', a hand-powered spherical contraption designed by the American David Bushnell that was designed to accommodate a single man. It was first verified submarine, capable of independent underwater operation and movement, and the first to use screws for propulsion.

		Ballistic missile submarines (or boomers, in American slang) carry nuclear weapons in the missiles for attacking strategic targets such as cities or missile silos anywhere in the world.
		The Soviet Union suffered the loss of at least four submarines during this period: K-129 was lost in 1968, K-8 in 1970, K-219 in 1986, and Komsomolets in 1989 (which held a depth record among the military submarines - 1000m).
		In 2000, a Russian Oscar II-class submarine (which is the world's largest cruise-missile submarine), the Kursk, sank in the Barents Sea when a leak of hydrogen peroxide in the forward torpedo room caused a spontaneous detonation of the warhead.

		In a review of the Upholder Class at the time the boats were retired from the Royal Navy, Commander John Powis RN had this to say about the propulsion system: "A large double-armature motor on a single shaft provided propulsion through a large modern propeller.

		The class was introduced in 1994 as part of the UK government's Trident nuclear weapons programme.
		The Vanguards were designed from the outset as an unlimited-range nuclear powered ballistic missile submarine, unlike the previous Resolution-class which was adapted from the then existing Valiant class and the American Lafayette class of nuclear powered fleet submarines (SSN in US terms).
		In addition to the missile tubes the Vanguard class is fitted with four 21 inch (53.3 cm) torpedo tubes and carries the Spearfish heavyweight torpedo, allowing it to engage submerged or surface targets at ranges up to 65 kilometres (40 miles).

		This class of 37 submarines became the workhorse of the fleet from the mid-1960’s through the 1980’s when the Los Angeles class entered the fleet in large numbers.
		Later ships in the class have incorporated design improvements especially in sonar and electronics areas as well as the addition of external cruise missile launch tubes.
		In addition, this class introduced a more accurate and longer range missile that eliminated the need for these submarines to be homeported overseas.

	Minister for Defence: Collins Class Submarine Report 1 July 1999
		It is also a complex issue as it must be assessed at different modes of operation of the submarines (diesel or battery), different speeds and depths, across the whole frequency spectrum, against different sea states and against the characteristics of the detectors that are likely to be used against the submarine.
		At the highest level, the original aim of the project was to produce 6 submarines with well trained crews and supporting infrastructure capable of performing their strategic role (as it was then understood) with at least two boats on station well distant from Australia, more or less indefinitely.
		They constitute an entirely new class of submarine, being substantially larger and longer than the rest of the world’s diesel electric submarines, and quite different in their operational profiles to the nuclear powered ‘attack’ submarines.

		In January 1963, the U.K. Defense Committee decided that four FBM submarines should be built, with an option on a fifth which was later canceled.
		Since 1968 the United Kingdom has deployed a force of four ballistic missile submarines (SSBN) each of 7,500 tonnes displacement, adapted from the then existing Valiant Class SSN, armed with Polaris missiles.
		The replacement of Polaris with Trident has involved successive Resolution Class boats being retired as the larger Vanguard Class SSBNs entered service.
