HMS Teredo (P338) explained
HMS Teredo was a British
submarine of the third group of the
T class. She was built as
P338 at
Vickers Armstrong, Barrow and launched on 27 April 1945. So far she has been the only ship of the
Royal Navy to bear the name
Teredo, possibly after a mollusc, the shipworm, of that name.
Commissioned after the end of the Second World War, Teredo had a relatively peaceful career. Gordon Tait commanded her in 1947 to 1948. In 1953 she took part in the Fleet Review to celebrate the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.[1] She was finally scrapped at Briton Ferry, Wales on 5 June 1965.[2]
