HMS Artemis (P449) was an Шаблон:Sclass of the Royal Navy, built by Scotts Shipbuilding & Engineering Co. of Greenock and launched 28 August 1946.[1] The submarine sank while refueling in 1971, was raised and sold for breaking up in 1972.

Design

Like all Amphion-class submarines, Artemis 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 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] Artemis 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]

Service history

In September 1952 Artemis deployed to Canada a second time for anti-submarine training with the Royal Canadian Navy. Artemis replaced the damaged Шаблон:HMS, which had developed issues while training with vessels of the Royal Canadian Navy off Bermuda.[4] In 1953 she took part in the Fleet Review to celebrate the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.[5]

On 1 July 1971 Artemis sank in Шаблон:Convert of water while moored at the shore establishment HMS Dolphin at Gosport during refuelling. The sub dipped by the stern (she was being prepared for fuelling using the aft externals) which filled and the sub sank.[6] All aboard escaped, with decisive action by four crew members resulting in bravery awards.[7] She was raised on 6 July and decommissioned, sold to be broken up for scrap on 12 December 1971.[1]
