Thank you, Gents.  That's what I thought but it is good to have your confirmation.

"The three Improved-Valiant-class submarines, sometimes known as the Churchill-class,[1] were nuclear powered fleet submarines which served with the Royal Navy from the 1970s until the early 1990s. The lead ship was named for the former British Prime Minister and First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill. The Churchill class was based on the older Valiant class, but featured many internal improvements."

From what my addled brain can recall they were conceived as 'Improved Valiants' but once the names were allocated they became the 'C' class or more commonly 'Churchill Class'

It was of course a long time ago.

Can anyone tell me the correct Class for HMS Churchill, Conqueror and Courageous?  Were they:
Valiant
Repeat Valiant
Improved Valiant
or
Churchill

I've seen all these mentioned
