HMS Oberon was the lead ship of the Oberon-class submarines in the Royal Navy, succeeding the Porpoise-class with updated equipment, internal fittings, and improved steel for the pressure hull.

Design and Construction
The Oberon-class submarines were 241 feet (73 m) long between perpendiculars and 295.2 feet (90.0 m) overall, with a beam of 26.5 feet (8.1 m) and a draught of 18 feet (5.5 m). They displaced 1,610 tons standard, 2,030 tons full load surfaced, and 2,410 tons submerged. Powered by two Admiralty Standard Range diesel generators and two 3,000 shaft horsepower electric motors, the submarines could reach speeds of 17 knots submerged and 12 knots surfaced. Equipped with eight 21-inch torpedo tubes and a total of 24 torpedoes, they also featured advanced sonar and radar systems. The crew consisted of 6 officers and 62 sailors.

Laid down at Chatham Dockyard on 28 November 1957, Oberon was launched on 18 July 1959 and commissioned on 24 February 1961, costing £2.43 million. It was the first of the class to feature a deeper casing for training SSN crews.

Operational History
In the early 1960s, Oberon ran aground in Rothesay Bay but was refloated.

Decommissioning and Fate
Oberon was decommissioned in 1986 and sold to the Seaforth Group in 1987 for refitting and resale to Egypt. However, she was eventually broken up at Grimsby in 1991.

*Condition*
Excellent used condition. Please see photographs as part of the condition report.
