The Upholder/Victoria-class submarines also known as the Type 2400 (due to their displacement of 2,400t) are diesel-electric Fleet submarines designed in the UK in the late 1970s to supplement the Royal Navy's nuclear submarine force. In 1998, Canada purchased the submarines and a suite of trainers from the Royal Navy to replace the decommissioned Oberon-class of submarines.
