A Tribute To Submariners

I have often looked for an opportunity of paying tribute to our submariners.

There is no branch of His Majesty's Forces which in this war has suffered the same proportion of total loss as our submarine service.

It is the most dangerous of all services.

That is perhaps the reason why the First Lord tells me that the entry into it is keenly sought by Officers and Men.

I feel sure the House would wish to testify its gratitude and admiration to our Submariners for their Skill - Courage and Devotion which has proved of inestimable value to the sustenance of our country.

Winston Churchill

This list has been made possible by the hard work of Pam Armstrong in the first instance and has lately been refined by Malcolm Blenkinsopp, Honorary Historian at Espana Levante Submariners

In some cases there are different Names and Dates of Birth mentioned in the notes, especially in the First World War, as many young men told lies in order to join early. Their be variations between birth names and the names the men chose to serve under.

The list will continue to evolve as new information comes to light. If you think you can help fill any of the gaps, please use our Contact Us page to get in touch.

Captain's Reprimand

I heard the order shouted out, "Dive, Dive, Dive!" My job was now to press the klaxon button. I reached up to press it, BUT, BUT, BUT the button wasn't there. WHERE IS IT? The crew were waiting for the klaxon to sound before they executed their diving procedures, such as opening vents to let air out and water in, giving negative buoyancy.
