The three Improved Valiant-class submarines, sometimes known as the Churchill class,[1] were nuclear-powered fleet submarines which served with the Royal Navy from the 1970s until the early 1990s. The Churchill class was based on the older Valiant class, but featured many internal improvements.
The lead vessel was named after the former Prime Minister and First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill. HMS Conqueror was the most famous of the class, sinking the Argentinian cruiser ARA General Belgranoduring the 1982 Falklands War. As of 2019, this is the only instance of a nuclear-powered submarine of any nation sinking an enemy ship by torpedo.
