Thank you for helping to improve this site by reporting an error on the The Loss of HMS Thetis page.
There has always been much concern about whether women should serve in Submarines and Submariners to a man, have always said 'No Way'. However it seems that without us realising it (women serving in Submarines) has been going on for years! George Meadows has highlighted a case that he knows of!
During her distinguished career, HM Submarine Saracen was responsible for sinking thousands of tons of Axis shipping.
But in August 1943 her luck ran out when she was mortally wounded by depth charges from two Italian corvettes, the last Allied submarine to be sunk by the Italians.
