Design and description
The last 17 boats of the third batch were significantly modified from the earlier boats. They had a stronger hull, carried more fuel and their armament was revised. The submarines had a length of Шаблон:Convert overall, a beam of Шаблон:Convert and a draft of Шаблон:Convert. They displaced Шаблон:Convert on the surface and Шаблон:Convert submerged.[1] The S-class submarines had a crew of 48 officers and ratings. They had a diving depth of Шаблон:Convert.[2]
For surface running, the boats were powered by two Шаблон:Convert diesel engines, each driving one propeller shaft. When submerged each propeller was driven by a Шаблон:Convert electric motor.[3] They could reach Шаблон:Convert on the surface and Шаблон:Convert underwater.[1] On the surface, the third batch boats had a range of Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert and Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert submerged.[2]
Spearhead was armed with six 21 inch (533 mm) torpedo tubes in the bow. She carried six reload torpedoes for a grand total of a dozen torpedoes. Twelve mines could be carried in lieu of the torpedoes. The boat was also equipped with a 4-inch (102 mm) deck gun.[1]
Construction and career
HMS Spearhead was laid down at Cammell Laird's Birkenhead shipyard on 18 August 1943, was launched on 2 October 1944 and completed on 21 December 1944.[4] So far she has been the only ship of the Royal Navy to bear the name Spearhead.[5] Spearhead survived the Second World War and was sold to the Portuguese in August 1948 and renamed NRP Neptuno.
