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

How the British navy hid the heroic voyage of crippled second world war submarine HMS Triumph.
In September 1941 the British press enthralled its readers with a story of naval heroism that the public, battered by German bombing and strict rationing, was crying out for: a tale of survival against the odds.
My research involves looking at how the British media covered the second world war. When I came across this story, I was struck by the way in which the navy kept the it quiet for nearly two years.
When the nuclear-powered submarine - Tiger Shark - sets out to investigate a baffling series of naval disasters near the Arctic Circle, its fearless crew quickly find themselves besieged by electrical storms, under attack from an unidentified floating saucer, and in the grip of hairy tentacles in this superb science-fiction potboiler from the golden age of Sci-Fi!
