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

| The Submarine was under tow by HMS Syrtis in the Pentland Firth on Monday 7th February 1944 when the Officer of the Watch (Lieutenant Charles Blythe, RNR) was washed overboard from the bridge of HMS Syrtis. The Commanding Officer of HMS Syrtis (Lieutenant M H Jupp, Royal Navy) reversed course in an attempt to rescue his ‘man overboard’ and accidentally collided with Submarine X-22. Submarine X-22 sank at once and Lieutenant MacFarlane and his crew of three were all lost. | |
The design of the Type XXI U-Boat was a radical step in the history of submarine development; indeed, the vessel could be said to have been the prototype of the modern conventionally-powered submarine
