Was interesting trying ot identify this O class submarine. Photo taken from Tender HMS Forth in 1942 at Holy Loch Scotland.

Based on date of photograph i(1942) by then half the O class had been lost by august 1942, A few operated their entire war careers in the Mediterranean Several in the RAN. (Pacific and Indian Ocean). Remaining then by process of elimination, this submarine then likely is either HMS Oberon (N 21) or HMS Otus (N 92). Both these old boats were scrapped in 1946.

If you look closely in the mooring dock photos, you will see two submarines. Between the dock and Surcouf dwarfing it is a dark Gray or other dark color is a earlier group British S-class submarine too.

Shame she was lost, so early, what contribution she could have made in the Pacific. Not so much in convey attacks, but in special mission operations. Supplying ammo and medical food supplies to Philippine commandos and fighting alongside USS Nautilus SS168 and USS Argonaut SM-1 at the Makin Island Raid with her 8-inch guns.

Four of the boats were modernized in 1981–1982. They were a evolutionary step from the previous Hajen Class shown here too.

The Drakens had only one shaft with a larger 5-bladed VARIABLE PITCH propeller for improved underwater performance and reduced noise. The propellor was effective but the large diameter of the blades was exposed when operating on the surface. An early unique engineering answer to propellor cavitation noise.

Actually very cool looking subs with a mix of different features and paint schemes.
