HMS Springer (P264)

HMS "Springer" was an S class submarine of the Royal Navy, and part of the Third Group built of that class. She was built by Cammell Laird and launched on May 14 1945. So far she has been the only ship of the Royal Navy to bear the name "Springer".

Built as the Second World War was drawing to a close, she did not see much action.

She received spare parts from her sister ship "Rahav", formerly HMS "Sanguine", when "Rahav" was retired in 1968. "Springer" was listed for disposal in 1972.
