Commonwealth War Graves Commission
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

| Built By: | |

Fate: Converted to Surface Patrol Craft and renamed 'S8' for service on the Otranto Barrage. Sold for breaking in 1919. |

Since the beginning of the Royal Navy Submarine Service in 1901, 173 submarines have been lost and in many circumstances with their entire crew. War inevitably takes a heavy toll:
in World War Two alone, 341 officer and 2,801 ratings failed to return to harbour. Accounts of these losses and many others of submarine escape are described within this history and whenever possible in the words of survivors or witness.
