HMS Ace (P414) was the name allocated to an Amphion-class submarine of the Royal Navy which was laid down on 3 December 1943 and launched at Devonport Dockyard on 14 March 1945 during the Second World War.[1]
She was not completed because of the end of the war, however the hull was used for explosives testing before arrival in June 1950 to Messrs. Smith & Houston of Port Glasgow, Scotland to be broken up.[1][2]
