HMS Repulse (S23) was a Шаблон:Sclass ballistic missile submarine of the Royal Navy.

History

HMS Repulse was one of two Resolution-class ballistic missile submarines ordered from Vickers-Armstrongs on 8 May 1963, with a further two ordered from Cammell Laird the same day. Repulse was laid down at Vickers Armstrongs' Barrow-in-Furness shipyard on 12 March 1965 and was launched on 4 November 1967,[1] She was launched by Lady Joan Zuckerman who was the wife of the Chief Scientific Advisor.[2] Repulse ran aground in the Walney Channel during the launch, although she was undamaged and successfully floated off on the next high tide.[3] She commissioned on 28 September 1968.[4] While she was planned to be the third of her class, delays with the build of Шаблон:HMS at Cammell Laird's Birkenhead shipyard meant that Repulse overtook Renown and was commissioned second of class.[5] She was the last of her class remaining in service with the navy, decommissioning in 1996.

Appearances in media

HMS Repulse was joined by a BBC film crew for a deployment in 1984. The crew documented the effect of the 8 week long deployment on both the crew, and family members on land. The program was broadcast on February 1985, as part of a 6 film series documenting the Royal Navy Submarine Service.[6]
