Default Lt Cmdr Malcolm Wanklyn RN to be honoured.

Submarine's 'great leader' honoured in Portpatrick

Quote:
The exploits of a Victoria Cross recipient are being recognised at his former home in south west Scotland.
Lt Cdr Malcolm Wanklyn spent part of his childhood at Knockinaam Lodge in Portpatrick.
A commemorative blue plaque is being put on the property as part of a wider project by the Submariners Association.
The latest one will honour the man who is considered to be "the most successful submarine commander of World War Two".
Good, though the report could do with some fact checking. I think "the most successful BRITISH submarine commander of World War Two" would be more accurate!

Mike.
