HMS ''Repulse'' (S23) was a ''Resolution''-class ballistic missile submarine of the Royal Navy. 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.〔Blackman 1971, p. 335.〕 She commissioned on 28 September 1968.〔Gardiner and Chumbley 1995, p. 531.〕 She was the last of her class remaining in service with the navy, decommissioning in 1996. ''Repulse'' was the third Polaris Missile submarine of the ''Resolution'' class to be planned; was the second. Due to delays with ''Renowns build at Cammell Laird's Birkenhead shipyard, the Barrow-in-Furness Vickers built ''Repulse'' overtook ''Renown'' and was commissioned second of class. ''Repulse'' famously ran aground on launch, much to the delight of the CND protesters and was subsequently "blacked" by the shipyard unions. She survived all of these setbacks to become the longest-serving Polaris submarine. ==References== * * == External links == * (Peter Hitchens in the UK Daily Mail reminisces about a trip in HMS Repulse ) * (Submariners Association Barrow-in-Furness Branch ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「HMS Repulse (S23)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
