HMS TORBAY was the fourth Trafalgar Class nuclear submarine built for the Royal Navy. TORBAY was the fifth vessel and the second submarine of the Royal Navy to be named after Torbay in Devon. Torbay was scheduled to be decommissioned in 2015, to be replaced by one of the new Astute-class submarines. As of November 2013 she was undergoing extended maintenance and upgrades. The work allowed for a two-year life extension beyond the previously-planned decommissioning date. On 6 June 2017, she entered Gibraltar Naval Base flying her paying-off pennant and, on Friday 14 July 2017, the vessel was decommissioned in Devonport.
HMS TALENT was the sixth of seven Trafalgar-class nuclear submarines of the Royal Navy, and was built at Barrow-in-Furness. TALENT was launched by The Princess Royal in April 1988 and commissioned in May 1990. The boat is affiliated with Shrewsbury in Shropshire. Talent is the third submarine of the Royal Navy to bear the name. The first was the World War II Talent, a T-class submarine transferred to the Royal Netherlands Navy as HNLMS Zwaardvisch in 1943. HMS TALENT moved her base from Devonport to Her Majesty's Naval Base Clyde in July 2019. HMS TALENT was scheduled to be decommissioned by the end of 2022 and will be replaced by HMS Anson, one of the new Astute-class submarines currently being fitted out. She decommissioned in May 2022.
