Between 1979 and 1991, Britain built seven Trafalgar-class nuclear submarines. Six of them were decommissioned in 2009-2022 and are awaiting disposal. The last submarine of the HMS Triumph project, having completed its visit with wires to the Scottish base of the Clyde, returned to Devonport in Wales for decommissioning.

When the submarine entered Plymouth Harbor, she was accompanied by a flotilla of ships, and she raised the decommissioning flag, signaling the termination of her combat duties

- it says in the publication Naval Technology.

Trafalgar are the last submarines of the Cold War, these ships have helped to ensure the security of our country for more than 30 years
