| Armed Forces Day 2026 |
| Hello all Members, Claire Nolan is the Deputy Town Clerk and an asset to our Branch as an Associate Member, she is working closely with Maggi and Abbi from BAE to organise the Armed Forces Day this year. We have been asked if we can contribute to the event at the Bridge, please see the details below. Maggi has some books that have been donated/written by the Friends of the Submarine Museum. To put it into context, The Bridge is hosting Armed Forces Covenant businesses in the Bridge from 11am on AFD Saturday 27th June. I am also asking Darren Gardner and Gemma Gardner (locals who have written military books that they are promoting) to be there and talk about their books. I wondered if there were any Submariners Association members that may wish to be on the 'stand' to say about the book, talk to those coming into the Bridge about their military experience, etc. You could also have a donation tub to support the Submariners Assn. I thought that there may be some that did not want to, or were unable, to take part in the parade but still wanted to feel a part of AFD. I can ask Maggi for some of the books if they wished to read through them beforehand? If any Members are interested in contributing to this event, please contact me (Jules) and I will liaise with Claire. Yours aye, Julian (Jules) Talks Barrow Branch Secretary |

An Angry Crowd swarms around a small prison. Inside General Sajid Khan stares stoically at his captors. Responsible for genocide and the mass murder of thousands of people, the deposed Warlord is being held unil trial.
The guards scramble but Khan remains calm. One week later Naval Headquarters are told that there's an explosion on an Australian Cruise Ship. This is the second attack and no one knows who is responsible, although Kahn goes missing.
Captain Will Hanley discovers that Kahn has spent his considerable fortune on a renovated Russian Submarine, complete with nuclear missiles which he plans to launch at a city untouched by terrorism, Los Angeles.
Hanley manages to find Khan but the action culmintes in an explosive battle alongside a dangerous reef, where failure will have an unbearable cost.
