A Fairey Albacore of 826 Naval Air Squadron releases its torpedo at the Battle of Cape Matapan, 28th March 1941.  With intelligence from deciphered Italian communications aiding them, the British fleet had a distinct advantage from the outset of this battle.  However, gaining a torpedo hit on the well protected battleship Vittorio Veneto came at a price - Lt Com Dalyell-Stead and the crew of his Fairey Albacore got close enough to launch their torpedo and damage the battleship, but were killed when their aircraft was brought down by the hail of anti-aircraft fire returned.  Ultimately, the battle was a massive British victory with several Italian capital ships sunk, but it was a notable victory for innovation and intelligence, with British ship-borne radar decisive in a night action, and code-breaking by Bletchley Park aiding the British fleet.

An S-Class submarine of the Royal Navy, HMS Sickle took part in operations in the Mediterranean in the Second World War after an uneventful first patrol off Norway.  On the morning of 23rd of April 1943, five days into her second war patrol, HMS Sickle intercepted the Italian merchant <i>Mauro Croce</i> as it left Spanish waters from Valencia.  Two torpedoes were fired but passed under the target.  Immediately the submarine surfaced and, as seen in this painting, opened fire with the 76mm deck gun, scoring 15 hits from 19 rounds fired before the weapon jammed.  HMS Sickle dived and broke off the action, but Italians later claimed three killed and four wounded in their complaint that the attack happened in Spanish territory.  That May, HMS Sickle went on to attack German U-Boat U-755 unsuccessfully, but next day torpedoed and sank U-303.  On her 11th war patrol in June 1944, HMS Sickle disappeared and is thought to have been lost to mines while returning to Malta.

Forever associated with the famous mutiny, HMS Bounty sailed to the South Pacific in the late 18th century.  After almost a year and a half on a botanical mission, the experienced Captain William Bligh who had previously sailed with Captain James Cook on expeditions, was ordered with his supporters into the ship's boat by the mutineers, led by Fletcher Christian.  Ultimately, the mutineers settled on Pitcairn Island, evading the Royal Navy for some 35 years by which time only one survivor of the mutiny remained, and Bligh reached safety after more than a month.

K17 was one of the unusual K-class submarines operating in the Royal Navy in World War One.  This class were unusual in that they were powered by steam while operating on the surface to allow them the speed to keep up with the fleet.  They were also unusual in their notorious poor fortune, gaining the nickname 'Kalamity Class'.  None of the class ever successfully engaged with the enemy, and yet 6 were lost in accidents, including K17.  Known as the 'Battle of May Island', a series of unfortunate collisions between submarines and surface vessels in the misty darkness of 31st January - 1st February 1918 saw both submarines K4 and K17 sunk, with several other vessels damaged.  From a crew of 56, just 9 men escaped from K17 and just 8 survived the freezing waters.  Here, K17 is shown cruising on the surface with funnels up in 1917.

In foul weather off the coast of North Africa on the night of 14th November 1941, HMS Torbay deploys men of 11 (Scottish) Commando for an audacious attempt to assassinate German General Erwin Rommel.  Named <i>Operation Flipper</i>, the attempt saw 26 men from HMS Torbay join just 8 more from HMS Talisman - the rest trapped aboard by the weather - land 250 miles behind enemy lines in Libya, and march to the headquarters for the attack late on 18th November.  While the Commandos made it to the target building, their leader, Lt Col Geoffrey Keyes was killed and they discovered Rommel was not there.  Retreating to the landing beach to be picked up by HMS Talisman, they were intercepted by Italian forces and captured facing impossible odds, although a few managed to scatter into the desert and escape.  Keyes was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross, HMS Torbay survived the war and was scrapped soon afterwards.

Commissioned in October 1939, HMS Truant served in the North Sea for almost a year, notably damaging the German cruiser Karlsruhe in one action.  Sent to the Mediterranean, Truant sunk several Axis merchant ships here, including the Italian tanker Bonzo depicted in this painting.  Tracked off the east coast of Italy in the dark of 15th - 16th December 1940, Bonzo fell prey to one of three torpedoes, and was finished off from close range, sinking rapidly.  HMS Truant continued successful patrols in the Med until May 1941, completing an Atlantic crossing for refit in the United States before returning in October that year.  Sent to the Far East in 1942, the submarine returned to the UK around the Cape of Good Hope for another refit.  Returning to service in UK waters in mid-1943, Truant was again sent to the Far East, making it as far as Malta before turning back with mechanical issues, spending the rest of the war as a trials ship in the United Kingdom.

 In early May 1941, in conditions of strict secrecy because the United States was not yet at war, seventeen pilots of the US Navy had arrived in Britain and been attached to Catalina squadrons of Coastal Command.  These experienced PBY pilots were there to assist the Royal Air Force to become familiar with the Catalina, and also to gain operational experience for the US Navy.  On 26th May 1941 Catalina Z of No.209 Sqn, commanded by Flying Officer Dennis Briggs RAF, with Ensign Leonard B Smith USN as co-pilot, joined the search for the Bismarck.  At 1015 the aircraft was being flown in poor visibility at an altitude of 500ft when Ensign Smith sighted the Bismarck at a range of eight miles.  The Catalina was flown towards the contact so that a positive identification could be made and emerged from the cloud only 500 yards from the German ship.  The aircraft met a hail of anti-aircraft fire but was able to make its escape.  As a result of the sighting report from Catalina Z the Bismarck was again engaged by ships and aircraft of the Royal Navy and was sunk at 1040 on 27th May 1941.  Leonard Smith can be considered therefore, the first American to be directly involved in action in World War Two.  He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross (American) for his actions.

 A T-Class submarine of the Royal Navy launched in 1940 and commissioned in May 1941, HMS Thrasher famously survived an attack by aircraft in 1942, her crew gaining two Victoria Crosses in the process.  Immediately after attacking a supply vessel on 16th February, HMS Thrasher was bombed from the air but escaped unscathed.  After resurfacing, two unexploded bombs were discovered within the casing of the submarine.  The first was easily removed but the second took a contorted effort in confined spaces - an hour-long combined effort by Lt Roberts and PO Gould literally manhandled the lethal ordnance safely over the side.  For actions that likely save the submarine, they were both awarded the Victoria Cross.

 Commissioned in 1943, HMS Sceptre was built by Scotts Shipbuilding in Greenock, Scotland.  In a short career, Sceptre under the command of Lieutenant Ian McIntosh was involved with the X-Craft midget submarine attacks on German capital ships and floating docks in Norway.  In addition, she sunk four enemy merchant ships and an enemy naval vessel between March and September 1944.  HMS Sceptre was then refitted as a target submarine late in 1944, and was scrapped in 1949.

 19th July 1918 - the Tondern raid, the first raid in history carried out from an aircraft carrier.  Captain Dickson is shown in his Sopwith Camel 2F.1 departing HMS Furious just after 3am, and along with 5 other aircraft would successfully attack the German Zeppelin sheds at Tondern in Denmark.  They destroyed two airships in their hangar, and the entire base was subsequently abandoned.  7 aircraft began the raid : one turned back with engine trouble, three landed in Denmark afterwards while another failed to return to the British fleet.  Only Dickson and Captain B Smart ditched in the sea near the British ships and were recovered.  For this raid, Dickson was awarded the Distinguished Service Order.  He later moved to HMS Revenge and HMS Queen Elizabeth then flew on HMS Argus and was a test pilot at the Royal Aircraft Establishment. In World War Two he helped to plan the Allied invasion of occupied Europe. He remained in the RAF post war, retiring in 1959 as Marshal of the Royal Air Force. He died in 1987.

 A Type VIIC U-boat, U-997 was one of lucky ones to survive the war.  One of around 700 of the Type VIIs - the workhorse of the German U-boat threat - it was an example of the 91 Type VIIC/41 variety, one of which is the only surviving Type VII in existence (U-995 is a memorial in Germany).  U-997 served between September 1943 and the end of the war when the submarine was surrendered and subsequently sunk by Allied aircraft with more than 100 other U-boats during Operation Deadlight, north-west of Ireland.

 Under the command of Günther Prien, the deadly U-47 became the 10th most successful U-Boat of World War Two in terms of tonnage sunk.  However, on 8th October 1939 she sank the British battleship HMS Royak Oak within Scapa Flow, the main British naval base of the war, despite the anti-submarine measures in place.  The submarine was presumed lost with all hands when she failed to return from her 10th patrol in March 1941, although no definitive explanation for her loss exists.

 U-99 was commanded by Otto Kretschmer from launch in 1940 until being sunk in March 1941, less than a year later.  However, during this time U-99 became one of the most successful submarines of the war, claiming almost 40 ships sunk.  Attached to each side of the coning tower is a horseshoe, dredged up by the anchor, painted gold and positioned here for luck.  This luck ran out on 17th March 1941 when the destroyers HMS Walker and HMS Vanoc discovered and successfully attacked U-99.  Forced to the surface by severe damage, the submarine was then scuttled while forty of the crew including Kretschmer were rescued to become prisoners of war.

The ten German U-Boats of the Type VIIA class operating in the seas around the United Kingdom and Ireland were so deadly in the first part of the war, they were the scourge of the Atlantic.  Sinking much Allied merchant shipping in the first months of World War Two, they continued through the 'Happy Time' of the Battle of the Atlantic, where the tally of shipping claimed by U-boats reached a peak, and the crews were regarded as heroes.  Famously, U-29 sunk the Royal Navy carrier HMS Courageous on 17th September, the first British warship sunk by German forces in World War Two.  By the end of 1940 though, 6 of the boats had been sunk and the remaining 4 were used only for training.  In total they had accounted for around 100 vessels sunk, damaged, or captured.
