Since the beginning of the Royal Navy Submarine Service in 1901, 173 submarines have been lost and in many circumstances with their entire crew. War inevitably takes a heavy toll:
in World War Two alone, 341 officer and 2,801 ratings failed to return to harbour. Accounts of these losses and many others of submarine escape are described within this history and whenever possible in the words of survivors or witness.
