The 10th Submarine Squadron was an administrative unit of the Royal Navy.
History
The squadron was formed at HMNB Clyde, Faslane, Scotland, in the 1960s to direct the Resolution-class submarines equipped with Polaris missiles that formed part of the United Kingdom's strategic nuclear deterrent. The four Resolution-class submarines would carry out a total of 229 operational patrols during their time in service with the squadron.[1]
The squadron would later direct the Vanguard-class submarines equipped with Trident missiles.
In October 1993 the 3rd and 10th Squadrons at Faslane amalgamated into a new 1st Submarine Squadron (Watson).
In February 2002 all existing squadrons were disbanded and replaced by three flotillas at the base ports of Devonport, Faslane and Portsmouth.
