HMS Turbulent (S87)

HMS Turbulent (S87)

HMS "Turbulent" (S87) is a Trafalgar class submarine of the Royal Navy built by Vickers Shipbuilding, Barrow-in-Furness.

"Turbulent" went through her modernisation and first nuclear refuel in 1997.

On 16 April 2003 HMS Turbulent was the first Royal Navy vessel to return home from the war against Iraq. She arrived in Plymouth flying the Jolly Roger after launching thirty Tomahawk cruise missiles.

HMS "Turbulent" is in service and is based at the naval base at HMNB Devonport.

The submarine has recently left Devonport Naval Base with some of the most advanced communications links in the Royal Navy’s fleet of submarines thanks to an Ministry of Defence update.

HMS "Turbulent" is set to be decommissioned in 2011.

See HMS "Turbulent" for other ships of the same name.
