HMS ''Grampus'' (S04) was a ''Porpoise''-class submarine. Her keel was laid down in 1955 by Cammell Laird at Birkenhead. She was launched by Lady Shepheard on 30 May 1957.〔Programme, ''Navy Days at Portsmouth August 31st-September 2nd 1968, p.21.''〕 She was first commissioned on 19 December 1958. ==Service== On 1 April 1963, ''Grampus'' returned to Gosport after spending three weeks under the polar icecap looking for holes in the ice. During the patrol she superficially damaged her hull on the ice. During 1965 she refitted in Devonport Dockyard.〔Programme, ''Navy Days at Portsmouth August 31st-September 2nd 1968, p.21.''〕 On 11 January 1968, the French trawler ''Fomalhaut'' caught ''Grampus'' in her nets in the English Channel. ''Grampus'' surfaced and both crews spent over three hours disentangling the nets. In 1968 she was part of the First Submarine Squadron based at HMS Dolphin and in that year was present during 'Navy Days' in Portsmouth Dockyard.〔Programme, ''Navy Days at Portsmouth August 31st-September 2nd 1968, p.21.''〕 ''Grampus'' operated with USS ''Tigrone'' in a joint American-British oceanographic operation in the eastern Atlantic in 1972. ''Grampus'' sank on the 18th September 1980 in Loch Fyne as she was being towed as a sonar target. She sits upright in 120 metres of water.〔http://www.fynepioneer.co.uk/Sites/Loch_Fyne/hmsgrampus〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「HMS Grampus (S04)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
