| HMS Sterlet (Lt Cdr G R S Haward, RN) is believed to have been sunk on 18th April 1940 in the Skagerrak south of Larvik in Norway in position 58°55'N, 10°10'E after an attack by the German anti-submarine trawlers UJ-125, UJ-126 and UJ-128 Although it is possible that she might have survived the attack and was mined while returning to base. | |
This book tells the exhilarating story of the will, endurance, and technical know-how of extraordinary people who made a lifelong impact on an entire nation and sixty-nine grieving families, recounting the search, discovery and the resulting attempts to find out what really happened that night, over thirty years previous. The story of the lost submarine captured the public's heart. Many Israeli cities and towns have a Dakar Street, and several schools and other public institutions are also named for the lost submarine.
Full Circle, a television documentary of the project was first aired on the National Geographic Channel in November 2003, adding to public recognition of this event.
