Fate: A5 was involved in an explosion at Queenstown, Ireland, on 16th February 1905 whilst berthed alongside the tender HMS Hazard, where five crew members were killed. The explosion was caused by a leak in the petrol pump, when the engine was started up to ventilate the submarine it caused the fumes to explode. Broken up in 1920 at Portsmouth Dockyard. |

Set during the Second World War, Above Us The Waves [1955] tells the dramatic tale of British attempts to sink a German warship, the "Tirpitz", using midget submarines. This 1950s film stars John Mills, John Gregson and Donald Sinden.
