74 boats lost out of 206 in service, 3,142 men killed (one in three of all who served) plus 359 captured. 2 million tons sunk, 38 enemy subs and 40 major surface warships sunk. More hits per torpedo fired than any other navy. Hardly a minor combatant Steve. No offence taken, just setting the record straight.
Being reasonble doesn't always mean being right. I read Padfield's book, and while he told a lot of stories and included a lot of numbers, it didn't seem to be that major comparatively. Personally, I'd love to play in any country's boats. We need more add-ons.

Thanks for great defense; I'll try to be better informed next time.
