A personal commentary by Peter D Hulme on the book 'The Silent Deep' written by Peter Hennesy and James Jinks . Confined mainly to the period before nuclear submarines came into service in the Royal Navy.
The hour-by-hour account of the bravery, bungling, helplessness and heroism of men trapped by the sea.
On June 1, 1939, the Submarine Thetis sailed out of Liverpool Bay with 103 men on board for diving trials, but on the very first dive it failed to surface, the escape hatch jammed, and help was too slow in coming.
