A British World War II information film describing to the public the technicalities and roles of Royal Navy submarine operations.
Filmed aboard the operational submarine HMS Tyrant, the documentary narrator offers a sketchy overview of a patrol - taking viewers from departing a Submarine Depot Ships diving, submerged operations, watch operations and practice/dramatised attacks.
While this documentary appears to have been made at the same time as filming for the propaganda movie "Close Quarters", most of the footage is unique.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.
