The current HMS Triumph (S93) is a Trafalgar-class fleet submarine. She was laid down in 1987 by Vickers and launched in February 1991 by Mrs. Ann Hamilton, wife of the then Armed Forces Minister Archie Hamilton. She was commisssioned in October that same year. In 1993, Triumph sailed to Australia, travelling an astonishing 41,000 miles submerged without support, the longest solo deployment so far by a nuclear submarine. In that same year, author Tom Clancy published a book called , which was centered around Triumph and USS Miami. In 2001, during the War on Terror, Triumph, along with her sister-ship Trafalgar and Swiftsure, formed part of a task group that comprised HM ships Cornwall, Fearless, Illustrious, Southampton as well as RFA ships, Bayleaf, Brambleleaf, Dilligence, Fort Rosalie, Fort Victoria, Sir Percivale and Sir Tristram. During Operation Veritas, Triumph launched Tomawawk missiles on targets inside Afghanistan. When Triumph returned after operations had ended, the boat flew the Jolly Roger, a tradional way of showing a successful patrol. In December 2001, Triumph had an unfortunate accident, when the boat grounded off the Scottish coast, while under the command of trainee officers. Thankfully, she suffered only superficial damage. Triumph is part of the 2nd Submarine Squadron based at Devonport. See HMS Triumph for other ships of the name.
