Dave Smith's post about HMS Seal today
HMS Seal. Stuart. Many thanks for that most interesting history. My dad, an electrical fitter on submarines in Chatham dockyard for very many years, worked on HMS Seal &, as was usual in those days- 1938-, the families of all the workforce were invited to the launch. I'm pretty sure we also toured the boat( I'm sure they were referred to as boats, despite my dad, ex WW1 RN artificer always saying "boats sail on rivers, ships sail on seas"!) for I can picture it now, all very spic & span & particularly the torpedo tubes & the spare torpedoes all forward. To an 8 year old a wonderful experience. Nice to know that almost all the crew survived, even if pow's.
