Fate: Had the shortest career of any Royal Navy submarine, being lost with all 37 onboard just four days after commissioning. The submarine, under the command of Lieutenant James S. Bridger, was lost whilst carrying out a three-day-long working-up exercise following commissioning. The submarine was last seen leaving her anchorage on 24 February 1943 at Lochranza, in the North of the Isle of Arran, Firth of Clyde. |

It was on a difficult and dangerous line-laying mission in the Kattegat that H.M. Submarine Seal was involved in one of the strangest, most frightening, and most heroically stirring episodes of the Second World War.
This is the full story, based on eyewitness accounts and official records, and told in dramatic detail by authors who were themselves submariners.
