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.

Hugh Donald volunteered for Submarines on 6th Feb 1917 and was 'requisitioned' on 15th May 1917 - joining HMS Dolphin 'for Submarine Training' on 29th Apr 1917. This was followed by a draft to the Submarine Depot Ship HMS Vulcan originally 'for the Spare Crew' but then 'for Submarine E35' on 29th May 1917.
Autumn 1941: U96 departs for enemy flight in La Rochelle, France. In the steel belly of the submarine, 50 men crowd close, among them the young Lieutenant Werner, who came on board as a war correspondent. What begins as a quiet routine company soon turns into hell after the first shelling.
Trapped between fire and water, between fear and despair, between life and death, the team of the U96 experiences up close the destructive cruelty of the beast war. He's gonna change them all. If they survive it.
You don't have to say many words about “Das Boot” anymore: Wolfgang Petersen's dramatic film adaptation of Lothar Günther Buchheim's success novel was the first true blockbuster in German cinema history. “Das Boot” made his director an international star and his largely unknown actors into familiar faces. “Das Boot” was celebrated worldwide and was nominated for the Oscar six times.
Four years later, the six-part TV series was released, which takes an even more detailed and unobstructed look at the crew and their experiences on board the U96. In 1997, the director's cut was released in terms of cut, image and sound. Intensive atmosphere and nerve-scattering tension created a milestone in German film and television history!
