HMS Token was a British submarine of the third group of the T class. She was built as P328 at Portsmouth Dockyard, and launched on 19 March 1943. So far she has been the only ship of the Royal Navy to bear the name Token.
Commissioned into service after the end of the Second World War, she had a relatively peaceful career with the Navy, finally being scrapped at Cairn Ryan in March 1970.[1]
