| Reported to have died from wounds received in a surface gun action in which two others were wounded and AB Richard Blake was lost overboard. AB Blake was rescued by German Forces and, accidentally and very luckily, became the only survivor of HMS Sickle which was ‘sunk with all hands’ twelve days later on 16th June. He did however spend the rest of the war as a Prisoner of War! |

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

| Class: | 1936 - 1958: U Class |
| Built By: | Vickers (Barrow) |
| Build Group: | U1 |
| Fate: | |
| Returned to the UK for refit. On completion did a short period in UK waters before returning to the Mediterranean. On 10th October 1942 Submarine HMS Unique was on passage from UK to Gibraltar and had been ordered to conduct a patrol off North Spain on the way to intercept any possible 'blockade runners'. Submarine HMS Ursula which had similar orders heard sounds of explosions whilst crossing the Bay of Biscay and assumed that Submarine HMS Unique was being attacked. No claim for an attack was made but it was assumed that the Submarine was lost with all hands after the attack. | |
Japanese midget submarines carried out torpedo attacks during WWII at Pearl Harbour, Sydney, and Diego Suarez in Madagascar.
The Coffin Boats presents an in-depth examination of these three attacks and provides background information on Japanese midget submarines and their pilots
