In reality the Royal Naval Talent was the third of this class to bear the name. The first was P322 completed by Vickers in 1943 and sold to the Dutch and renamed Zwaardvisch. The second was P343 to be built by Scotts of Greenock but was cancelled in October 1944.

Talent along with others of her class was chosen for streamlining in the 1950's.

She suffered the embarrassment of being swept out of the dry dock at Chatham in 1954 whilst undergoing refit.
