| HMS Sahib (Lt John Henry Bromage DSO DSC) was lost on 24th April 1943. After making a successful attack on an escorted Italian Convo. The Submarine was damaged in a depth charge attack by the escorting Italian Corvettes Gabbiano (Lt Nilo Foresi) and Euterpe (Lt Antonio March). Lt Bromage surfaced HMS Sahib, which was badly damaged, and attempted to run on the surface. Owing to the damage to the Submarine the crew were forced to abandon ship. It is reported that German aircraft machine gunned the survivors in the water killing one of the crew. The six Officers and the forty surviving crew members were taken Prisoner of War. Of the forty, twenty-three made escape attempts and twelve made successful 'Home Runs'. There was only one casualty in the sinking. | |
Launched in 1945 and commissioned two years later, submarine HMS Alliance was built for service with the Royal Navy in the Far East. Alliance had a long and distinguished career of more than 28 years that took her all over the world.
Today, Alliance is the centrepiece at the Royal Navy Submarine Museum, Gosport, where the submarine experience is brought to life by tours around the boat. Former submariner and historian Peter Goodwin gives Alliance the Haynes Manual treatment, examining in detail her construction and restoration, and describing what it was like to live, work and go to war in a submarine.
