HMS Tabard (P342)
HMS ''Tabard'' was a British submarine of the third group of the T class. She was built by Scotts, Greenock, and launched on 21 November 1945. So far she has been the only boat of the Royal Navy to bear the name ''Tabard'', after the item of clothing. Having been launched after the war, she was selected, along with a number of boats of her class, to try out new streamlining techniques based on the German Type XXIII submarine. In May 1963, she was involved in a collision with HMAS ''Queenborough'', and on 10 February 1964 she underwent exercises with HMAS ''Melbourne'' and HMAS ''Voyager'' in the hours before their collision. When she returned to the UK, she became the static training submarine at the HMS ''Dolphin'' shore establishment, until 1974 when she was sold and broken up.
==Design and description==
''Tabard'' had been originally ordered from Vickers Armstrong, Barrow, but the orders were switched to Scotts Shipbuilding and Engineering Company, Greenock.〔Akermann (2002): p. 380〕 Ordered as P. 342, she was named ''Tabard'' in May 1943 after the Tabard, the official dress of a herald, and she is the only boat of the Royal Navy to bear the name.〔Akermann (2002): p. 385〕〔 She was laid down on 6 September 1944, and launched on 21 November 1945 before being completed on 25 June 1946.〔Akermann (2002): p. 377〕 It was one of fourteen boats ordered under the 1942 Programme, and was one of the five which were completed.〔 Unlike some of the earlier boats of its class, it was not equipped with a 4 inch gun with a full shield, rather than a standard open gun mounting.〔Akermann (2002): p. 381〕 Further aft, she had an Oerlikon 20 mm cannon mounting which was modified for boats by having holes cut in the pedestal for drainage.〔Roberts (1979): p. 127〕 Being from the third group, she has an all–welded hull, which increased her diving depth to .〔McCartney (2006): p. 13〕
Following post war tests by the British Navy on German ''Type XXIII'' submarines, it was decided by the Admiralty to modify eight T-class submarines to enlarge the batteries, increase the power of the motors and streamline the hulls.〔 In 1950,〔Akermann (2002): p. xvi〕 ''Tarbards pressure hull was cut at the after end of the engine room and the submarine was lengthened by . This gave enough room to add an additional battery compartment and a second pair of electric motors. The propulsion system was changed from direct to diesel–electric transmission.〔Akermann (2002): p. 383〕 Along with HMS ''Trump'', ''Tabard'' was one of two boats which were further modified by incorporating their bridge into a streamlined fin. Other streamlining adjustments were made to the hull with all external fittings removed, including the external torpedo tubes and gun. The periscopes, radar masts, snort mast and wireless mast were all incorporated into the new bridge fin.〔
