RN Reports from Boards of Inquiry

I came across the published boards of inquiry reports for various RN accidents, including a number of submarine ones, which I hadn't seen mentioned here before and thought may be of interest to some. They're edited to de-classify them but still make interesting reading from an operations point of view, particularly the narrative parts:

The explosion on HMS TIRELESS that resulted in the tragic death of 2 crewmen. I found the narrative on this one particularly interesting, and quite moving in parts.

Grounding of HMS TRAFALGAR.

Grounding of HMS TRIUMPH.

Grounding of HMS VICTORIOUS.

There are other reports on the webpage including some from the Falklands and other non-Navy ones:
