and if they survived that - some later ended up traveling to south east Asia (Via the Allied controlled Suez cannel)
They were based out of Trincomalee (Ceylon)then later opperated out of Fremantle (Australia).

I'd love a British Sub campaign to come to SH more than anything, first you get to battle it with the Germans, then the Italians, and lastly the Japanese...
It would make damn nice change from the usual Type 7 / Gato Line up - simming in those sub types is really getting pretty old in my opinion.
Yes it would be some fresh air. I read in this particular book (One of our Submarines) his stint in Malta. In transit to Malta his sonar heard props submerged. He was planning on a sonar attack but decided to call it off as it might have been one of his own. As it was found out, this was a British sub he was tracking. Good stuff. Currently in the book he is commanding the HMS Storm. Spotted a Japanese sub on the surface but could not get in good firing position. This is were I stopped reading last night.
