16. Royal Navy Submarines and Submariners in WWII

The little-known story of RN submarines operating from Malta in the Mediterranean, which did much to hobble Rommel’s desert operations by interrupting his supply lines, is told through the experiences of an able seaman and a senior captain.Chris Munns, himself a submariner of 20 years’ experience and once Director of the Royal Navy Submarine Museum, tells this story of humour and tragedy. Of the submarines that served in the Mediterranean, half were lost and, of course, their crews with them.The talk will last for about 40 minutes, with time for questions at the end.

Wheelchair access is at the rear of the building. Only Blue Badge holder cars can park there (details must be given when booking). General parking is opposite the entrance, but vehicle details are still needed on booking to park there. Refreshments will be available at the Bar before and after the event.

Please arrive at least 15-20 minutes before start time to allow for parking, gate security clearance, entering the Clubhouse, perhaps buying a drink at the bar, and getting comfortably seated in the talk room.
