Post Horn Heralds Subs Return
Coventry Evening Telegraph, Thursday, 10 May 1945
Sounding a hunting horn HMS Tantivy returned to a home base from Far Eastern waters recently. Instead of the customary Jolly Roger she flies a black flag bearing the mark of a fox over crossed hunting horns. The Tantivy has taken her hunting horn to sea on all her patrols. It was sounded for the first time when she returned to a Far Eastern base after scoring her first torpedo success, a Japanese supply ship.
The commanding officer, Lt. P. H. May DSC of Monksheaton, Northumberland said
the hunting horn was presented by the builders and the success flag was made and presented to us by Barrow Grammar School for Girls who have unofficially adopted us and have been exceedingly kind to us.
