HMS Cachalot (S06) was a Porpoise-class submarine. Her keel was laid down on 1 August 1955 by Scotts Shipbuilding and Engineering Company at Greenock. She was launched on 11 December 1957, and commissioned on 1 September 1959.

Design

The Porpoise class was the first class of operational submarines built for the Royal Navy after the end of the Second World War, and were designed to take advantage of experience gained by studying German Type XXI U-boats and British wartime experiments with the submarine Шаблон:HMS, which was modified by streamlining and fitting a bigger battery.[1][2][3]

The Porpoise-class submarines were Шаблон:Convert long overall and Шаблон:Convert between perpendiculars, with a beam of Шаблон:Convert and a draught of Шаблон:Convert. Displacement was Шаблон:Convert standard and Шаблон:Convert full load surfaced and Шаблон:Convert submerged.[1] Propulsion machinery consisted of two Admiralty Standard Range diesel generators rated at a total of Шаблон:Convert, which could charge the submarine's batteries or directly drive the electric motors. These were rated at Шаблон:Convert, and drove two shafts, giving a speed of Шаблон:Convert on the surface and Шаблон:Convert submerged.[4][3] Eight [[British 21 inch torpedo|Шаблон:Convert]] torpedo tubes were fitted; six in the bow, and two in the stern. Up to 30 torpedoes could be carried, with the initial outfit consisting of the unguided Mark 8 and the homing Mark 20 torpedoes.[1]

Service

Cachalot attended the 1977 Silver Jubilee Fleet Review off Spithead when she was part of the Submarine Flotilla.[5]

She was sold on 12 November 1979 for breaking up at Blyth.
