| 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. | |
Drawn from personal memoirs, official reports, logbooks and private journals, John Winton skilfully weaves together compelling stories of survival and heroism in times of the most intense danger with welcome lighter moments, anecdotes about daily life and domestic arrangements aboard.
The Submariners is an authoritative anthology of enterprise, endurance and valour expertly compiled by an author who himself served seven years in the Submarine Service.
