Subsmash
It was obvious that whatever had caused Affray to sink, and had ended the lives of all those on board, had occurred quickly.

Sixty years later, in this compelling maritime investigation, Alan Gallop uses previously top secret documents, interviews with experts and contemporary news sources to explore how and why Affray became the last British submarine lost at sea, and possibly the greatest maritime mystery since the Marie Celeste.
