The
Royal Navy
Submarine Service was primarily
used to enforce the classic British
blockade
role. It therefore chiefly operated in inshore waters and tended to only surface
by night. Its major operating areas were around
Norway,
the
Mediterranean (against the Axis
supply routes to
North
Africa), and in the Far East.
Royal Navy submarines operating out of
Trincomalee
and
Australia were
a constant threat to Japanese shipping passing through the
Malacca Straits. In the war British submarines sank 2 million tons
of enemy shipping and 57 major warships, the latter including 35 submarines.
Amongst these is the only instance ever of a submarine sinking another submarine
while both were submerged. This occurred when
HMS
Venturer engaged the
U864;
the Venturer crew manually computed a successful firing solution against a
three-dimensionally manoeveuring target using techniques which became the basis
of modern torpedo computer targeting systems. Seventy-four British submarines
were lost, half probably to
naval
mines,[21]
the majority of all losses, (42), being in the Mediterranean.

“Lest We Forget”.
The Great
War caused great upheaval. It lasted too long; too many men were killed or
maimed. Women had taken men's jobs; their contribution helped them to win the
vote. The Government refused to bring bodies home; the rich tried to bring
bodies back, the poor couldn't, so none were allowed to be returned. But neither
could the poor visit foreign cemeteries. People overcome bereavement by burying
their dead, which now was denied to everybody. The erection of Memorials was a
Government inspired initiative which offered something to focus on. Their 1923
Act allowed local authorities to levy a small rate towards costs and
maintenance, a power they still hold. But locals decided for themselves what
form their memorial would take. The Memorials became surrogate tombstones which
people could visit and pay their respects; the unveiling ceremonies became
substitute funeral services. Not all Memorials are in the open. In those
impoverished times, some people erected Memorials to serve the living:
hospitals, village halls, playing fields. Other choices were church furnishings,
birdbaths, rolls of honour, boats, plaques, annuities, libraries, clocks,
houses, gardens - the variety is astonishing! Names on War Memorials is not an
exact science. Those who moved away, or wanted to get on with life, or hoped
their men would return, didn't offer names for inclusion on memorials. Others
had the name in several places,- parish church, chapel, school, place of work,
club, or they made an individual dedication such as a seat by the sea. Those
with immediate knowledge of those named on World War Memorials are themselves
passing into history. War Memorials are evolving into another role - that of
reminding us of what happens when the world goes to war. Their message for us
today is
