The Swiftsure-class is a type of British attack submarine operated by the Royal Navy. The Swiftsure-class is in the process of being withdrawn to make way for the Astute-class and Of the six Swiftsures made only HMS Sceptre remains in service and is expected to be decommissioned in 2010.[1]

The Tralagar-class is a development of the Swiftsure-class. Although 2.5m longer than the Swiftsures Trafalgar-class submarines retain an almost identical internal layout.[2]
