Upholder
British submarine class
Quick Summary
The Upholder class was a class of four diesel-electric submarines built for the Royal Navy in the 1980s and early 1990s. These submarines were designed for anti-submarine warfare and surface ship attacks. Following the end of the Cold War, the Royal Navy stopped the Upholder program and eventually decommissioned these submarines, selling them to Canada. The Royal Navy then returned to an all-nuclear submarine force.123
