This painting could possibly be U36, although she was probably more severely damaged than is portrayed here. If it is her then she is lying quietly on a sandy bottom in cold and clear Norwegian waters. The wake from HMS Salmon has only just vanished. Listing slightly, damage can be seen on the port side although her main wound remains hidden. She will never surface again but above her she still has 6 long years of angry fighting to silently witness.
