HMS Sanguine was an S class submarine of the Royal Navy, and part of the Third Group built of that class. She was built by Cammell Laird and launched on February 15, 1945. So far she has been the only ship of the Royal Navy to bear the name Sanguine.
Built as the Second World War was drawing to a close, she did not see much action. Sanguine was sold to the Israeli Navy in 1958 and renamed Rahav in March 1959. She was retired in 1968 and cannibalised for spare parts for Tanin, formerly HMS Springer, Sanguine's sister ship.
