The
British S-Class submarine that sank twice. Her first
was in Portland Harbour on the 16th June 1955 after
an explosion in her torpedo bay, while moored alongside
other submarines. Valient attempts by members of her
own crew and from other boats, were made to evacuate
the injured and those trapped in her smoke filled
interior were only partially successful, for she flooded
and sank with twenty minutes. She took with her thirteen
men.
This
is her story and your chance to be part of her future
history.
