Roll Of Honour

Turbulent (N 98)

Built By: Vickers (Barrow)
Build Group: T 2
Fate: HMS Turbulent was presumed to have mined off Sardinia on or about 14 March 1943.

The Submarine had sailed from Algiers on 24th February 1943 for what was to be her last patrol in the Mediterranean before returning home. A signal was sent to Turbulent on 20th March giving a route back to Algiers. No reply was received concerning this signal.

It is thought that there were two likely reasons for the loss of Turbulent . These were a depth charge attack by a Ju88 and the Italian Destroyer Ardito on 6th March 1943 in the Bay of Naples or striking a mine in the minefields north and east of Sardinia between 12th and 14th March 1943

The entire crew of sixty-two Officers and Ratings was lost.

Commonwealth War Graves Commission

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
