	Submarine Heritage Centre - Art Gallery - Valiant Class
		Valiant and her sister submarine Warspite truly moved the Royal Navy into a new era where the submarine became the capital ship of the fleet.
		As early as April 1967, Valiant set a new submerged record for a British submarine when she completed the 12,000 mile dived passage home from Singapore in 28 days.
		The Valiant class were the first all-British nuclear submarine.

	Resolution Class Ballistic Missile Submarines
		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.
		"..to ensure a submarine deterrent remained totally credible at all times, it required that, for week upon week when at sea, the crews were in all respects equivalent to being on patrol under conditions of war.
		First of her class to be fitted with Chevaline and carried out tests of the system in early 1982.

		I am delighted to be in the Submarine and meet the officers and sailors in their working environment.
		Submarines are known to be the most invincible and silent force in the Naval Warfare.
		Definitely, since our submarine crew in future warfare has to perform under the sea for long duration with high maneuver capability, there is a need for providing more space for strategic weapons and sensors and make the interior design crew friendly.

	R.Smg. SCIRE'
		The Italian submarine Scirè was a vessel of the class "600" series "Adua".
		This type of submarine was built for short cruises and was protected by a single hull and a false keel.
		The most important mission was the one of December 19th, 1941 when human torpedoes launched by the Scirè sank the battleships Queen Elisabeth and Valiant, the tanker Sagona and the destroyer Jervis in the shallow waters of the port of Alexandria.

	World War II US Submarine warfare operations in the Pacific 1941 1945
		Various classes of submarines were designed and commissioned but regardless of the many technological improvements made to the American submarines, the U.S. Navy's submarine force was caught woefully unprepared for the type of warfare which they were about to face.
		Submarines were originally looked upon to serve as scouts and screens for the navy's capital warships.
		To be in compliance with the agreement, the submarine would have to leave the relative safety of the ocean's depths by surfacing, rendering her highly vulnerable to an air attack or a counterattack by the an enemy warship.

		Some of the skills the forces are honing during Valiant Shield include anti-submarine exercises aimed at protecting carriers while they launch and recover aircraft, defensive counter-air scenarios using airpower to defend ships, and surveillance missions focused on using and combining every platform available.
		Valiant Shield marks the largest gathering of carrier strike groups in the Pacific since Desert Storm, showing the U.S.'s commitment to peace and stability in the region.
		Valiant Shield is the first of what will become a biennial exercise series and builds on the Joint Air and Sea Exercise (JASEX) held from 2003-2005, and from previous exercises such as Northern Edge and Terminal Fury.

	Valiant class submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Valiants were primarily used in the anti-submarine role, a role that was prominent in the Royal Navy (RN) during the Cold War.
		The nameship, Valiant, was decommissioned in 1994 due to cracks being discovered in her reactor core.
		The Valiants were very successful and served as the template for the Resolution-class ballistic submarine and subsequent fleet submarines.

	Nuclear Fleet Submarines
		Although the name originally chosen for her was Inflexible, Britain's second nuclear submarine was commissioned as HMS Valiant on 18th July, 1966.
		Derived directly from HMS Dreadnought, Valiant's near-perfect streamlining gives maximum underwater efficiency, whilst her fin-like conning tower is intended to reduce 'drag' to a minimum.
		The nuclear-powered submarine represents a terrible threat to surface warships, for her speed enables her to close in, attack with a variety of weapons - such as guided torpedoes or even missiles - and then withdraw at high speed.

	Astute attack submarine
		During World War II the submarine service came into its own and since that time boats have become increasingly larger and faster and now the latest name in the long line of famous classes is Astute.
		Attack submarines originate from early studies of nuclear-powered vessels in the UK during 1946, long before other nations had considered such a propulsion system.
		Meanwhile, the study into the Batch 2 Trafalgar class submarines continued and it became apparent that further development of the Trafalgar class was the way forward.

	A Century of Royal Navy Submarine Operations Holland 1 to Vanguard (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		By the end of the war RN submarines had sunk or damaged by torpedo and gun two million tons of shipping, including 78 warships, 38 of which were submarines.
		In 1948 the primary task of the post-war Submarine Service was anti-submarine warfare, and with that came the development of the excellent P and O classes that eventually took over from the faithful T and A classes of the war.
		HMS Dreadnought went to sea in 1963, and she was followed by the excellent Valiant and Churchill classes that became the workhorses of the Cold War.

		Although the Class 5 is designed as a mid-range warp probe, the special environment of the "accelerated" planet may require its use (also because of its low observability).
		Before the standard probe of Class 1 is started in TNG: "Where Silence Has Lease", Picard orders the launch of a "scanner probe" which vanishes after a few seconds.

		The Vanguard class are the Royal Navy's current nuclear ballistic missile submarines (SSBN), each armed with 16 Trident II SLBMs.
		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 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).

	Vanguard - United Kingdom Nuclear Forces
		The Vanguard Class submarines are larger than the Resolution Class mainly because of the need to accommodate the Trident D5 missile.
		The submarine in reserve may be armed with 11 missiles with 8 warheads, 4 missiles with 1 warhead on each, plus an Active Inert Missile during trials.
		This estimate encompasses manpower and related costs, refits of the submarines, stores and transport costs, a share of the running costs of shore facilities, an element of the costs of the Atomic Weapons Establishment, in-service support of the submarines and their weapon systems and decommissioning and disposal costs.

		The nuclear submarine of today's navy is able to generate its own oxygen supply and no longer needs to surface periodically to charge batteries.
		I was privileged to be associated with the submarine force at times during my career and learned first hand that submariners, like aviators, earn their hazardous duty pay.
		In the nuclear submarine navy, the corollary might be -- a reactor scram in the midst of thine enemy is not a good way to meet new people.
