Thank you for helping to improve this site by reporting an error on the Crew page.
On this table was a very large book illuminated by the overhead lamp. The book dealt specifically with the names of submarines lost on war service. It went even further as it also mentioned the individual names of officers and crew who had perished. I found myself automatically turning the huge thick pages over until I came to HMS
Sickle
, the submarine I had served in. I found the appropriate page, and read down the list of officers and men. I received another "eerie feeling" within an hour of my first. I read my own name, there it was Petty Officer Rose (a reporting of my demise).
Charts over a century of submarine development, from the earliest attempts to travel beneath the waves, two World Wars and the Cold War, through to the formidable machines in operation today.
Specification boxes provide at-a-glance information about each submarine's country of origin, length, displacement, speed, armament, propulsion and complement. Features more than 700 historical and modern photographs illustrating each type of submarine, plus artworks of selected examples. Includes fascinating quotes from military leaders and a glossary explaining key naval terms and abbreviations.
