HMS SWORDFISH Submarine WW2 Wreck Isle of Wight

[@jerriarchie]

@SemanticSpace Hi, we dived it on a Low Tide slack, it was approx. 39m to the seabed, 36m on top of the sub & 33m at top of conning tower. Thanks

My mothers' family who lived in Portsmouth had a friend who died on the Swordfish.

We too lost a good man in this submarine. My mother was told it had gone missing somewhere in the Med. whilst on patrol.It wasn't until it's remains were found many years later my Mother discovered the truth, which had been hushed up. God bless all the souls that perished that day.

My uncle was CPO on this when it was lost, it was assumed lost when on patrol, as no message was ever received, it only came to light when some one came across it when diving the area in 80's, it is assumed it struck a mine when started it dive,

My great grandfather is among that somewhere. Feels a bit strange watching this.
