| 1940 | Triton (N 15) | Lost HMS Triton left Malta for a patrol in the lower Adriatic and the Straits of Otranto on 28th November 1940. At 0540 on 6th December an SOS from the Italian merchant vessel Olimpia was intercepted. Triton immediately set of to intercept her and seems to have made a successful attack before she was her self destroyed in a counter attack by two Italian Torpedo boats. There are also reports that the Italian Torpedo boat Clio may have sunk Triton. This attack is reported to have happened several days after Triton should have left the area and is therefore met with some scepticism |

Fate: in June 1940 Orzel was on patrol in the central North Sea. On June 5th Orzel was ordered to return to base. No reception was acknowledged. On June 8th the submarine was officially declared lost. The true cause is unknown, although it is commonly believed the Orzel most likely struck a British or German sea mine in or near the Skagerrak. |

The Real X-Men tells the story of the sacrifice and heroism of the individual men, many of them little more than teenagers, who volunteered for this dangerous duty and who crewed both the Chariots and the X-craft without knowing the full extent of the risks entailed, nor indeed the very small chances they had of coming back alive.
