HMS ''Seawolf'' was an S-class submarine of the Royal Navy. She was launched on 28 November 1935 and went on to serve in the Second World War. ==Wartime career== HMS ''Seawolf'' had an eventful career after the outbreak of war. On 6 October 1939, she attacked the German light cruiser ''Nürnberg'' and the torpedo boat ''Falke'' in the Skagerrak, but none of the targets were hit. In April 1940, ''Seawolf'' sank the German merchant ''Hamm'', and in November, claimed to have sunk the German merchant ''Bessheim''. ''Bessheim'' was mined and sunk the previous day off Hammerfest, so ''Seawolf'' had probably attacked another merchant. She was one of a number of submarines ordered to track the German battleship ''Bismarck'' before her eventual sinking. On 6 March 1942, ''Seawolf'' sighted the German battleship ''Tirpitz'', along with her escorting destroyers ''Paul Jacobi'', ''Friedrich Ihn'', ''Hermann Schoemann'' and ''Z-25''. The German ships had sailed from Trondheim, Norway with the intention of attacking convoy PQ 12. HMS ''Seawolf'' arrived in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1943 to help the Royal Canadian Navy in anti-submarine warfare training.〔(HMS Seawolf ), Uboat.net〕 She was commanded from August 1943 until 23 August 1944 by Commander Denis Woolnough Mills, for whom ''Seawolf'' was his first command after being promoted from First Lieutenant of HMS ''Thunderbolt''. ''Seawolf'' was sold for breaking up in November 1945 to Marine Industries, of Montreal. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「HMS Seawolf (47S)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
