HMS Oracle was an Шаблон:Sclass submarine of the Royal Navy.

Design and construction

Шаблон:Main The Oberon class was a direct follow on of the Porpoise-class, with the same dimensions and external design, but updates to equipment and internal fittings, and a higher grade of steel used for fabrication of the pressure hull.[1]

As designed for British service, the Oberon-class submarines were Шаблон:Convert in length between perpendiculars and Шаблон:Convert in length overall, with a beam of Шаблон:Convert, and a draught of Шаблон:Convert.[2] Displacement was 1,610 tons standard, 2,030 tons full load when surfaced, and 2,410 tons full load when submerged.[2] Propulsion machinery consisted of 2 Admiralty Standard Range 16 VMS diesel generators, and two Шаблон:Convert electric motors, each driving a Шаблон:Convert 3-bladed propeller at up to 400 rpm.[2] Top speed was Шаблон:Convert when submerged, and Шаблон:Convert on the surface.[2] Eight Шаблон:Convert diameter torpedo tubes were fitted (six facing forward, two aft), with a total payload of 24 torpedoes.[2] The boats were fitted with Type 186 and Type 187 sonars, and an I-band surface search radar.[2] The standard complement was 68: 6 officers, 62 sailors.[2]

Oracle was laid down by Cammell Laird on 26 April 1960, and launched on 26 September 1961.[2] The boat was commissioned into the Royal Navy on 14 February 1963.[2]
