Thanks Simon! And great point about the tonnage, I’ll see if I can find some exact numbers here. So far I haven’t been able to find any numbers and just some mentions of type of vessels, which probably wouldn’t add up to very much tonnage like you say.

You need to get the facts right before making false claims. The Royal Navy (as well as the "Yanks" as you so politely put it) named all of their ships including boats (subs). One "S" boat being HMS Spearfish. Check it out on wikipedia. If you put your glasses on you will see in the video a photo of a Spearfish emblem on the actual sub.

Harry Martin is quite right. At the beginning of the war, the S boats had a pretty torrid time. There was another boat called HMS Sunfish lost about this time too. I think Seahorse was another.
