Service history[edit]

Most of the boats built served with the 10th Submarine Flotilla based in Malta. 19 died during the war; 13 in the Mediterranean Sea, and the rest in the North Sea and Atlantic Ocean. In addition, one ship, HMS Untamed, sank in May 1943 but was salvaged and reconstructed for recommissioning as HMS Vitality

. Since 1941, some of the boats were transferred to the USSR Navy, Free France and other allied forces. Later during the war the design was converted to a welded V-class.

Other navies[edit]

In addition to service with the Royal Navy, several U-class boats were assigned to work with the Allied forces. The Red Fleet of the Soviet Union received three boats:

V 2 - (ex HMS Unbroken
)
V 3 - (ex HMS Unison
)
V 4 - (ex HMS Ursula
)

The Royal Norwegian Navy has two:

HNoMS Uredd - (formerly HMS P41
)
HNoMS Ula - (formerly HMS Varne
)

The Polish Navy has two:

ORP Dzik - (formerly HMS P52
)
ORP Sokół - (formerly HMS Urchin
)

Free French fleet one:

Curie - (formerly HMS Vox
)

Royal Netherlands Navy one:

HNLMS Dolfijn - (formerly HMS P47
)

Additionally, after the end of the war, HMS Upstart and HMS Untiring were leased to the Greek Navy, becoming respectively Amphitriti

and
Xifias
. The following boats were transferred to the Royal Danish Navy after the war:

S321 U 1 Springeren
- (ex HMS
P52
)
S322 U 2 Støren
- (ex HMS
Vulpine
)
S323 U 3 Sælen
- (ex HMS
Vortex
)
