11th Flotilla. Blyth.
Lost during a storm in November 1921 as it was being taken away for scrap, the wreck of G3 came to rest under cliffs at Buckton, between Speeton and Bempton, in East Yorkshire. According to Scarborough Maritime Heritage Centre (SMHC), valuable parts of the wreckage were salvaged by an insurance company, with the remainder blown up in 1940 as it was found it could have been used as a landmark for invaders in World War Two.

The Senior Service has, for a hundred years, had submarines.
Originally thought to be Un-English, submarines helped us win two World Wars and have played a great part in Britain's nuclear deterrent for the past thirty years. Originally some of the small subs had crews of less than ten men, unlike today's nuclear behemoths with crews of almost one hundred.
Submariners are a breed apart; ask any submariner and they'll tell you they think and act differently from the regular navy. Submariners is the story of the submarine service in the words of the men involved.
