SUBJECT - Submarine HMS Truculent P315. 

HMS Truculent was a British submarine of the third group of the T class.  She was built as P315 and launched on 12 September 1942. She sank nine enemy vessels.

The submarine was funded by donations from the town of Glossop in Derbyshire, whose population raised £175,000 in 1942-3 to fund warships.

Her bow struck a Swedish oil tanker in January 1950. Held primarily responsible, Truculent began to sink – 64 men were lost as she was ferrying workers as well as carrying her crew – and her wreck was towed to the destined nearby dockyard then sold for scrap.

Regional navigation rules thereafter mandated a Truculent Light – a panoramic white light on the bow of submarines moving under their own power.

DATE - july 1946.
