The S3s were built in 1940-1942 and the design was somewhat optimized for mass production. Like almost all British submarines, they lacked the range for effective operations in the Pacific, but saw useful service patrolling the coasts of Burma and Malaya. Those built for the Far East had a 4" gun in place of the 3" used in earlier units and eliminated a stern torpedo tube to compensate for the weight. Within their limits, they were a sound design, reliable and easily maintained and operated.
