Vickers and Barrow are names synonymous with the development of the submarine. Hundreds of submarines covering virtually every class have been built for the Royal Navy and foreign Navies. This site is dedicated to not only to those who have served on Her Majesty's Submarines but also to those employees past and present whose skills and efforts have given pride to the phrase 'Barrow built' and made the name Vickers known and respected throughout the world.

The submarine crew were eagerly looking forward to completingjust one more patrol which qualified us to return with the submarine to England.
It was obvious that whatever had caused Affray to sink, and had ended the lives of all those on board, had occurred quickly.
Sixty years later, in this compelling maritime investigation, Alan Gallop uses previously top secret documents, interviews with experts and contemporary news sources to explore how and why Affray became the last British submarine lost at sea, and possibly the greatest maritime mystery since the Marie Celeste.
