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 converted Scotsman appeared as I joined the Royal Navy and was in the background during my service in submarines but despite apparently crossing paths I do not recall seeing her in any of her guises. She had a reputation amongst electrical and engine room ratings because of her need for a companion charging submarine throughout her long service.
Set during the Second World War, Above Us The Waves [1955] tells the dramatic tale of British attempts to sink a German warship, the "Tirpitz", using midget submarines. This 1950s film stars John Mills, John Gregson and Donald Sinden.
