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).

 Upholder class submarine
The Upholder-class submarines were diesel-electric hunter-killer (SSK) submarines designed in the late 1970s to supplement the Royal Navy's nuclear submarine force.
During sea trials of the lead ship[?] of the class, it was noticed that an emergency reversal ("crash back") would generate currents of more than 60,000 amps, which resulted in catastrophic and spectacular complete loss of propulsion.
Acceptance of the class into service was delayed for three years while such problems were corrected.

The submarine is based on the 1950s-era Soviet Romeo class with certain modifications.
However, the submarine provides a relatively low-cost solution for coastal defence, patrol and surveillance duties, while combat missions in deep oceans are taken by the more capable Type 039 and Kilo class.

These subs are exponentially more dangerous than the Foxtrot- and Juliet- classes of diesel-electric submarines fielded by the USSR in the 1950s and 60s, which even then, gave the US Navy a run for its money.
ASW against older diesel-electric subs was based upon “active ranging” — creating a noise in the water by off-set dropping an explosive SUS (sound, underwater source), waiting for an echo to reach a set of sonobouys, and then calculating an elliptical range circle to create one line of position.
In the 1970s and 1980s, sonobouys that produced their own echoes --“pingers”-- replaced the ‘bomb-the-bouy’ technology that had preceded it, and while this was a big improvement, its still required a lot of practice — practice largely abandoned after the collapse of the USSR and the beaching of its submarine fleet.

With the growing Soviet submarine threat to counter, the class was given a pre-emptive, anti-submarine brief in which silence was essential, lending itself to substantial conversion work.
The T - class was then streamlined and thus gained something its admirers had long wanted it to have but which it had hitherto lacked - speed.
