HMS Rorqual (S02)
HMS ''Rorqual'' (S02) was a ''Porpoise''-class submarine launched in 1956. She was built by the Vickers shipyard in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, England. The boat was named for both the rorqual, a family of whale, and the earlier Second World War-era submarine of the same name.
In 1958, ''Rorqual'' experienced a fire. In 1963, she was caught in a trawler's net. An explosion in 1966 killed one junior rate and injured the chief of the watch, who died ashore at Inhambane, ''Rorqual'' was off the coast of Mozambique en route to Singapore. In 1969, ''Rorqual'' rammed a moored minesweeper, USS ''Endurance'' (MSO-435) while docking at River Point pier in Subic Bay, Philippines. The collision punched a large hole in '' Endurance's'' hull but did not damage ''Rorqual''. At the time of the incident, ''Rorqual'' was commanded by Lieutenant-Commander Gavin Menzies who retired the following year and later published the controversial book ''1421: The Year China Discovered America''.
''Rorqual'' won the SOCA Efficiency trophy in 1973.
''Rorqual'' arrived at the Laira breakers yard near Plymouth on 5 May 1977. She was broken up by Davies & Cann.
