HMS Olympus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

HMS Olympus was an Oberon-class submarine in the Royal Navy, and later Canadian Forces. She was laid down 4 March 1960 at Vickers-Armstrongs at Barrow and launched 14 June 1961.

HMS Olympus (S12) was sold in 1989 to Canada and was stationed as a training boat in Halifax. The ship was not commissioned and disposed along with the other commission subs in late 1990s.

In May 2005, the Halifax Chronicle-Herald announced that the Royal Canadian Navy was looking to sell Ojibwa for scrap metal, along with three other Canadian Oberons. The RCN's disposal co-ordinator stated that the submarines were not in suitable condition to be used as museum ships, and predicted that each submarine would sell for between C$50,000 and C$60,000. ^[1]
