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

| During an air raid on Malta on 1st April 1942, Pandora was alongside Grand Harbour, Malta, off-loading stores, when she was hit by two bombs, which sank the submarine in less than four minutes. Twenty-five of the crew were killed in the sinking. The wreck of Pandora was raised and beached in Kalkara Creek. Salvaged in September 1943 and scrapped in 1945. | |
By the 1990s the superpowers had created submarine fleets of radically different designs and capabilities.
Written in collaboration with the former Soviet submarine design bureaus, Norman Polmar and K J Moore authoritatively demonstrate in this landmark study how differing submarine missions, antisubmarine priorities, levels of technical competence, and approaches to submarine design organizations and management caused the divergence.
