| Blakey, Kenneth Norman | ||||||
| Able Seaman | ||||||
| 'Died in the Johnson Hospital at Spalding in Lincolnshire. He was at home on leave at the time and it is understood that he died from accidental coal gas poisoning overnight in the 'Writing and Rest Room' at the 'Toc H' Headquarters in Spalding. Two other men (assumed to be friends but non-submariners) are also reported to have died in the accident and a verdict of misadventure was reported at the inquest. He was the son of George Edward and Louie Blakey, of Algarkirk and Earl's Marsh Farm, Forsdyke. |

| Dunkey, George | ||||||
| Able Seaman | ||||||
| George Dunkey was accidentally lost overboard and was presumed to have drowned whilst HMS Sceptre was at Loch Cairnbawn in Western Scotland. He was the son of Mr. F Dunkey and Mrs. Matilda E Dunkey. George, who was trained as a lathe operator, joined the Royal Navy at HMS Glendower on 9th November 1942. It is likely that SCEPTRE was at Loch Cairnbawn (Port HHZ) for training in towing X-Craft when the accident occurred. George Dunkey was not recovered. |

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

'Underwater, underhanded and damned un-English' they might have been but submarine development and deployment has long been an integral part of naval warfare.
For centuries man has been fascinated with the possibility of an underwater vessel, the ultimate method of improving the odds against a superior surface fleet. Being submerged beneath the sea was the obvious means by which a warship could be approached and attacked without detection - but the attempts to create the perfect sub was a long and often tragic affair.
This DVD tracks the evolution of underwater crafts from the early Turtle to a privileged look inside the salvaged U-Boat 534 and beyond. Aboard the famous U-Boat 534 we examine the living conditions and the true bravery shown by all her crew.
