As built the Upholder/Victoria class was designed as a replacement for the Oberon class for use as hunter-killer and training subs. The submarines, which have a single-skinned, teardrop-shaped hull, displace 2,220 long tons (2,260 t) surfaced and 2,455 long tons (2,494 t) submerged. They are 230 feet 7 inches (70.3 m) long overall with a beam of 25 feet 0 inches (7.6 m) and a draught of 17 feet 8 inches (5.4 m).
This file set was created by Randy Sanders and is the first one he has created that incorporates the amazingly intricate anechoic tiling details that really make this hull stand out in terms of realism.
The Upholder/Victoria Class is actually a very strong performer as a scale submarine, with great turning performance and speed. The huge sail imparts a significant sail induced roll, for very cool banking turns at speed.
Now includes periscope and mast tops in file set!
