Night Attack by Robert Barbour.
HMS Storm carries out a night surface attack on a Japanese ammunition supply ship in the eastern Bay of Bengal. The ship and escort were passing through the Mergui Archipelago en route to Rangoon, and were eventually sunk by the submarines Oerlikon and 3-inch guns. The resulting explosions provided a spectacular fireworks display, visible and audible for many miles.

Secret Operation by Robert Taylor.
This print captures the menacing beauty of a submarine on the surface: S-Class type HMS Sceptre slips her moorings in Scapa Flow, Scotland, and glides quietly into the North Sea to begin another top secret underwater operation. On the conning tower the skipper takes a final look across the water to the distant highlands while the crew savour the fresh salt air knowing soon they will submerge into their eerie, silent, artificial world, beneath the waves.

Vice-Admiral Sir Michael Lumby KCB, OBE,
DSO, DSC. Mike Limby completed his submariners
training in Dec 1938. Joining HM Submarine Sturgeon, he was aboard that
boat at the outbreak of war, serving in Norwegian waters. On 22 Apr 1942
he took command of HM Submarine Saracen, where he won the DSO for the
sinking of U335. On 5 Nov 1942 Saracen took part in Operation Torch - the
Allied ladings in North Africa, and on 9 Nov he sighted and sank the
Italian submarine Granito, being awarded the DSO. In late July 1943
Saracen was heavily damaged by enemy depth-charges and a few days later
was subjected to a further depth-charge attack by two Italian corvettes.
Lumby and all but four of his crew were forced to abandon the boat,
destroy it and surrender themselves. He remained a POW until repatriated
in May 1945.
Commander Edward Young DSO, DSC, RNV(S)R
Edward Young joined up as a young
Sub-Lieutenant in the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve in April 1940. Four
months later he entered the submarine service and became the first RNVR
officer ever to do so. After three years of almost continuous active
patrols off Norway and Russia, in the North Sea, the Bay of Biscay and in
the Mediterranean Theatre - and after surviving a harrowing escape from a
sunken submarine, he became the first 'wavy striper' from the RNVR to take
command of an operational submarine, HM Submarine Storm.
Vice-Admiral Sir Ian McGeoch KCB, DSO,
DSC Having specialised in submarines in
1937, becoming third hand aboard HM Submarine Clyde, Ian McGeoch rose
quickly through the ranks to become a commissioned officer. In 1942 he was
appointed to command HM Submarine Splendid undertaking many highly
successful active war patrols. On 21 April 1943 however Splendid's luck
ran out whilst on patrol in the Bay of Naples. Depth-charged, they were
forced to the surface. Wounded by enemy gunfire Lieutenant McGeoch and his
surviving crew members were taken prisoner of war. During captivity he
made many escape attempts, finally he succeeded and with the help of the
local Resistance made it back home to England to continue his naval
service.
Vice-Admiral Sir Ian McIntosh KBE, CB,
DSO, DSC Ian McIntosh volunteered for the
submarine service in 1940. After completing his training, he joined HM
Submarine Porpoise in 1941, at the time undertaking mine laying operations
in home waters. Porpoise was then dispatched to the Mediterranean Sea to
join the First Submarine Flotilla based in Alexandria. In February 1943
Ian McIntosh was appointed to command HM Submarine Sceptre operating in
Norwegian waters and in the Bay of Biscay.
