Early Career
HMS Totem (P352) was built to the group 3 variant of the T class design at H.M. Dockyard in Devonport and launched on 28 September 1943. The submarine was completed and commissioned in early 1945. After the end of World War II, Totem and the other surviving group 3 boats were equipped with submarine snorkels to allow longer periods of operation underwater. Between 1951 and 1953, Totem was one of eight boats converted to the "Super T" design, which allowed the vessel higher speed and quieter underwater operation.
