HMS Alderney (P416/S66), was an Шаблон:Sclass of the Royal Navy, built by Vickers-Armstrongs at Barrow and launched 25 June 1945[1] by Mrs Molly Wallis, wife of Sir Barnes Wallis. She was the 12th of the class and was scrapped in 1972.

Design

Like all Amphion-class submarines, Alderney had a displacement of Шаблон:Convert when at the surface and Шаблон:Convert while submerged. It had a total length of Шаблон:Convert, a beam of Шаблон:Convert, and a draught of Шаблон:Convert. The submarine was powered by two Admiralty ML eight-cylinder diesel engines generating a power of Шаблон:Convert each. It also contained four electric motors each producing Шаблон:Convert that drove two shafts.[2] It could carry a maximum of Шаблон:Convert of diesel, although it usually carried between Шаблон:Convert.[2]

The submarine had a maximum surface speed of Шаблон:Convert and a submerged speed of Шаблон:Convert.[3] When submerged, it could operate at Шаблон:Convert for Шаблон:Convert or at Шаблон:Convert for Шаблон:Convert. When surfaced, it was able to travel Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert or Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert.[2] Alderney was fitted with ten 21 inch (533 mm) torpedo tubes, one QF 4 inch naval gun Mk XXIII, one Oerlikon 20 mm cannon, and a .303 British Vickers machine gun. Its torpedo tubes were fitted to the bow and stern, and it could carry twenty torpedoes. Its complement was sixty-one crew members.[2]

Operational service

Alderney completed three commissions between 1954 and 1963 with the 6th Submarine Squadron at Halifax, Nova Scotia, carrying out exercises with the Royal Canadian Navy and Royal Canadian Air Force. In September 1952 Шаблон:HMS replaced the damaged Alderney, which had developed issues while training with vessels of the Royal Canadian Navy off Bermuda.[4] She was modernised during a long refit in Portsmouth Dockyard between 1956 and 1958. In 1965 she recommissioned for the eighth time and was allocated to the 1st Submarine Squadron at Шаблон:HMS. In 1965 and 1966 she was present at Portsmouth Navy Days.[5][6] She was decommissioned in 1966 and was broken up at Troon, Scotland on 1 February 1970.[7]
