Submarine On Patrol | Royal Navy Propaganda (1943)

[@Tocsin-Bang]

My late father served on submarines during WWII and until 1951 when he continued to serve in the Royal Navy for a total of 22 years. Her served on a number of boats, including H34, Alaric, Springer, Venturer, Tabard & Trump, as telegraphist, leading telegraphist and PO telegraphist.

I remember some US Navy ships visited our port when I was a boy. My parents took my brother and I to tour them during Fleet Week. I was fine with the spacious aircraft carrier but couldn't bring myself to enter the hatch of a submarine. My claustrophobia was too severe. I was consumed with the unreasonable fear of becoming trapped inside.

Thanks for this from an old Aussie salt.⚓

It's good to see footage of RN subs instead of the endless American and German stuff. Hopefully there's more.

[@ArmouredCarriers]

Only the wartime movie "Close Quarters" that I've found so far.

[@Grendel650]

A lot of the same footage as used in the 1943 film 'Close Quarters'.

[@glennbeasley4807]

Good Video,

[@mackfisher4487]

The silhouette of this British submarine looks more like a German U-boat I thought at first this might be U-570 which the British captured and reconstituted as HMS Graph Sub tender it's like the one they used in "We Dive at Dawn" (1943) WW2 submarine movie. A great propaganda film

[@nightjarflying]

No, the diagrams are of a RN T-Class Submarine

[@angloaust1575]

They had limited success in far east altho the americans Bore The brunt One royal navy sub commander abandoned a Commando team operation Rimau and went after sinking Jap ships Instead! He didnt like having to carry Them on his sub Service rivalry upper class snobbery!

[@jessegreenwood1956]

You can see the number on teh sub. Its N76. Google that and you see its a "T-class" british submarine called HMS Tribune, commissioned in October 1939. The movie is mentioned in the Wiki for N-76. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Tribune_(N76)#:~:text=HMS%20Tribune%20was%20a%20British,group%20of%20T%20class%20submarines.&text=Broken%20up%20in%20November%201947%20by%20Thos.

Respect!

I served on HMCS RAINBOW in the early 70,s. We all smoked on board. 2$ a carton. Almost free. Very seldom when we couldn't light up. None of the Officers did though.

[@thomasrotweiler]

Interesting piece of recycling.

[9:36] Smoking in the Torpedo room?

[@briangorman8853]

look up how a torpedo works, and it was the 1940s…cowboy up butter cup

[@HootOwl513]

@@briangorman8853 There's a lot of dope about the faulty exploders in USN Mk 14s, but not much on propulsion systems. Types are: Whitehead -- compressed air. Bliss -- alcohol turbine. IJN Long Lance -- kerosene/oxygen. USN Mk 18 -- electric. Don't know what the Andrew was using at this time. My comment was based on the assumption that it was high proof alcohol, and cigarettes might touch off vapors. On USN Gato and Balao boats with high volume air conditioning, smoking was not discouraged. Not so sure about the RN.

@@HootOwl513 On the very successful HMS Tally Ho operating in the Far East theatre the crew were allowed 1 cigarette each per day when submerged.

[@HootOwl513]

@@hugh_ghennaux I know how that Generation was collectively addicted to nicotine. It must have been excruciating. The Truant was launched in 5/39, just before the war. First of the Truant Class. I am going to guess they were not as Cadillac-like as the Gatos and Balao boats with full time A/C. I wonder if the Smoking Lamp was Lit at the same time as Up Spirits?

[@jaideedave]

​@@HootOwl513I sailed on the Rainbow RCN early 70,s. Smokes and beers and rum issue every day at sea. Today at 74 a recovering alcoholic. Lol. Good old days
