| HMS Walrus |
 
Dates: 1959 - 1987 HMS Walrus was part of the Porpoise Class of Submarines, which were launched 1956 - 1959. Class included HMS Porpoise, HMS Rorqual, HMS Narwhal, HMS Grampus, HMS Finwhale, HMS Cachalot, HMS Sealion and HMS Walrus. They were far more capable than previous submarine classes in operating for prolonged periods thanks to much improved air recirculation and cleaning systems. The class also performed excellently in clandestine operations, such as surveillance and inserting special forces. The class were also the first since the R-class of 1917 to not have a gun on deck, a decision that would be carried in all subsequent submarine classes in the RN.
