Welcome to the virtual home port of HMS/m Valiant (S102)

This site has been created to honour HMS Valiant, affectionately known as the Skimmer Killer, the first all-British designed and built nuclear submarine and thus the first of the Valiant class SSNs. The class also comprised twin sister Warspite and three more "improved" sisters; Churchill, Conqueror and Courageous (sometimes known as the Churchill class). The Valiants took the Royal Navy and the Silent Service into the nuclear era and provided the technological basis of the Resolution class SSBNs.

I hope this site will become a meeting place for former crew members and allow us to renew friendships interrupted by time and geography. This site takes its place alongside several others dedicated to Valiant's siblings, so we can add our piece to the history of the Royal Navy Submarine Service; the sisters are sailing together, virtually, once more.

If you were a member of HMS/m Valiant ship's company, I hope you will take time to register your contact details (be assured they will be kept private and only used to send you important notices such as reunions or a shipmate trying to constact you). Please contribute resources, share your stories and let us know anything you think may be of interest to your former shipmates. You may post messages on the noticeboard or send email to registered crewmembers free of charge. You may also upload photos and request notices posted free of charge.

Be sure to check back every now and then to read new notices and see if one of your old oppos has also found his way here.
