HMS Acheron (P411) was an {{sclass-|Amphion|submarine}} of the Royal Navy, laid down 26 August 1944, launched 25 March 1947 and completed in 1948.

Design

Like all {{sclass-|Amphion|submarine}}s, Acheron had a displacement of {{convert|1360|t|ST}} when at the surface and {{convert|1590|t|ST}} while submerged. It had a total length of {{convert|293|ft|6|in}}, a beam length of {{convert|22|ft|4|in}}, and a draught length of {{convert|18|ft|1|in}}. The submarine was powered by two Admiralty ML eight-cylinder diesel engines generating a power of {{convert|2150|hp}} each. It also contained four electric motors each producing {{convert|625|hp}} that drove two shafts.[1] It could carry a maximum of {{convert|219|t|ST}} of diesel, although it usually carried between {{convert|159|and|165|t|ST}}.[1]

The submarine had a maximum surface speed of {{convert|18.5|kn|km/h mph}} and a submerged speed of {{convert|8|kn|km/h mph}}.[2] When submerged, it could operate at {{convert|3|kn|km/h mph}} for {{convert|90|nmi|km mi}} or at {{convert|8|kn|km/h mph}} for {{convert|16|nmi|km mi}}. When surfaced, it was able to travel {{convert|15200|nmi|km mi}} at {{convert|10|kn|km/h mph}} or {{convert|10500|nmi|km mi}} at {{convert|11|kn|km/h mph}}.[1] Acheron was fitted with ten {{convert|21|in|mm}} torpedo tubes, one QF 4 inch naval gun Mk XXIII, one Oerlikon 20 mm cannon, and a .303 British Vickers machine gun. Its torpedo tubes were fitted to the bow and stern, and it could carry twenty torpedoes. Its complement was sixty-one crew members.[1]

Service History

Acheron took part in the Coronation Review of the Fleet to celebrate the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.[3] She carried out 'General Naval Service' around the UK until the end of 1964. A geomagnetic storm in February 1956, during solar cycle 19, interfered with radio communications and prompted a search for the submarine after it lost radio contact.[4] From August to December 1959, she took part in a cruise to South Africa and Pakistan.[5]

From 1964 to 1966 she was loaned to the Royal Canadian Navy.{{citation needed|date=October 2010}} She was decommissioned and broken up in 1972 at the yard of J Cashmore of Newport.[6]
