Lieutenant- Commander Boyle In Submarine E14 Evading Turkish Mines Passing Through The Dardanelles.
After Lieutenant Norman Holbrook, V.C., had crept up the Dardanelles the Turks greatly improved the anti-submarine defences of the narrow channel. The submerged minefields were increased, and in certain parts hulks were sunk to impede the progress of our submarines. Lieut. –Commander Boyle and those with him therefore performed a great feat, to which it is impossible to do full justice, in getting through to the Sea of Marmora and returning safely. For the great services of the E14, which lasted three weeks, Lieut. –Commander Boyle was awarded the V.C.; Lieutenant E. G. Stanley and Acting-Lieutenant R. W. Lawrence the D.S.O., and each member of the crew the D.S.M.

The crowning moment of E11s adventure was her sudden appearance in the harbour of Constantinople, to the utter consternation of the inhabitants. Lieutenant0Commander Nasmith fired two torpedoes, his objective being some transports, which were moored at the quayside. Unfortunately, strong currents deflected the torpedoes. The first blew up a barge with such force that it damaged a neighbouring transport, which had to be run ashore to avoid sinking. The second hit the quay itself and destroyed a great length of it. Immediately, every Turkish battery set up a fierce bark of protest, but too late. E11 had disappeared. It was a long time before the good citizens of Constantinople recovered their nerves.

Kapitanleutnant zur See Friedrich Christiansen by Ivan Berryman.
During a patrol on 6th July 1918, Christiansen spotted a British submarine on the surface of the Thames Estuary. He immediately turned and put his Hansa-Brandenburg W.29 floatplane into an attacking dive, raking the submarine C.25 with machine gun fire, killing the captain and five other crewmen. This victory was added to his personal tally, bringing his score to 13 kills by the end of the war, even though the submarine managed to limp back to safety. Christiansen survived the war and went on to work as a pilot for the Dornier company, notably flying the giant Dornier Do.X on its inaugural flight to New York in 1930. He died in 1972, aged 93.

Seeing that the enemys destroyers were searching for her the E9 dived again. But when a short interval, she came up a second time, the Hela had disappeared. Large numbers of German destroyers had however been sent out from Heligoland, and were now cruising round with every conceivable device for snaring and destroying submarines. But the E9 kept clear of them for many hours, and at length arrived safely at Harwich.

U515 escaped but was sunk by an American naval hunter group a year later. D for Donald limped back to base and managed to make the beach before it would sink completely.

Lieutenant DOyly-Hughes Brought In To His Ship On His Return From His Exploit.
When he reached the beach, Lieutenant DOyly-Hughes plunged into the seas in his clothes and swam out to where he expected his ship to be. It had moved, however, and he was compelled to return and hide on the shore. At dawn he left everything behind and swam along the hopes of finding the ship, blowing his whistle at intervals to announce his whereabouts. On rounding a cliff he observed what he thought were Turkish boats making out from shore towards him. He immediately made for the beach again, where he discovered that the cause of his fears was his own ship. A last short swim, exhausted though he was, brought to safety among his men.

The peaks of Arran are snow covered and a biting north westerly whips the Firth in sudden squalls.
HMS Birmingham Commanded by Captain Arthur Duff, Ramming the German Submarine U15 on August 9th 1914 by M G Swanwick (P)
Having swept away the periscope and conning tower of the German submarine U15 with a salvo of six shots from the Birminghams guns, Captain Arthur Duff ordered the cruisers engines to be set at full speed. With a turn of the helm she was brought round with her bows pointing straight at the disabled submarine. Then dashing forward at 25 miles per hour the 5,400 ton cruiser rode into U15, which rolled over and sank to the bottom of the sea with its crew of three officers and twenty men.

The B11 torpedoes the Turkish battleship Messoudieh.
Having reached the middle of the Narrows just before noon, Lieutenant Holbrook brought his vessel cautiously to the surface. At the periscope projected above water torpedo craft were seen in the distance, and a Turkish battleship lay at anchor on the inner side of the minefield. The B11 dived on sighting the latter, and the men made ready to discharge torpedoes from the tubes in the bows. The submarine then slowly rose to the surface, so that Lieutenant Holbrook might again sight the battleship. Having got his craft into the line with the Messoudieh, he gave the order to release a torpedo. At the same moment the enemy detected the periscope, and ships and forts opened a heavy fire. But the B11 which was too quick for the enemy was soon grating along the bottom at a depth of only thirty feet.

Trident by Robert Barbour.
On Sunday October 25th 1992, HMS Vanguard, the Royal Navys first Trident equipped submarine, arrived off the Clyde Submarine Base, Faslane on the Gareloch. She was escorted by a Sea King helicopter from HMS Gannet, the RN shore base at Prestwick Airport, and a mixed surface flotilla, including Defence Police and Royal Marines.
Submariners are a special breed of sailor. Their environment, operating deep beneath the surface of the waves, is both unnatural and dangerous, and demands men of cool courage and exceptional quality. Prowling the depths like a mammoth shark, sometimes hunted, submarine crews live and fight, and sometimes die together, alone in the remote expanses of the worlds great oceans. Regardless of national flag under which they sail, this small elite Silent Service is both feared and admired by all who sail the seas. Plying their deadly trade in World War Two, the German U-boats posed such threat to the vital Atlantic convoys; Winston Churchill feared the submarine threat more than anything Hitler had at his disposal. Hunting in wolf packs, roaming the shipping lanes far beyond the reach of protective aircraft, they decimated the Allied merchant vessels during the Battle of the Atlantic. Manned entirely by volunteers, British and American submarines saw action in every maritime theatre during.........
