SAS Umkhonto
The ''SAS Umkhonto (S98)'', formerly the ''SAS Emily Hobhouse'', was the second of three French-built Daphné class submarines ordered by the South African Navy in 1968. Laid down in December 1968 and launched 24 October 1969 and commissioned into the South African Navy under the command of Lt Cdr Lambert Jackson "Woody" Woodburne on 26 February 1971. The submarine was decommissioned in 2003 and scrapped in 2008.
==Ship Name==
The first ships of the class in the French Navy were named after women, and the South African Navy followed the precedent. The submarine was christened SAS ''Emily Hobhouse'' after Emily Hobhouse, the British humanitarian and philanthropist who exposed British concentration camp atrocities in South Africa during the Boer War.
Beginning in 1994, with the end of apartheid and white rule, ships bearing names of noted white South African figures were renamed, and the vessel became SAS ''Umkhonto''. (''Umkhonto'' ) is the Zulu word for spear.
