HMS Conqueror
Cool video about the only nuke sub to ever sink an enemy warship.

Stuart Prebbles book is well worth a read and cheap as chips varying between $1 and up to $9.

You could see number 1 on the sail?

On topic if we could all be so kind, or is it a fact the submarine in the picture was the first?

I don't recall Pskov sinking any enemy warships, nor Nizhniy Novgorod.
Good boats though, the Sierra IIs. |

It didn't sink any per say, but Baton Rouge got scrapped after coliding with it. Hence why the crews display their kill count as 1 :P

Nice try but a ship that makes it back to port can't be claimed as sunk.

Just a quick English lesson...or not. The phrase is "Per se", which is Latin meaning "In and of itself."
I also disagree with your sub counting, but for a different reason. Did the ship it collided with count as an "enemy"? I took the original post to mean an intentional sinking, and with weapons fired in anger. That said, I do see your point, and they can wear their "1" with pride.
