HMS ''Strongbow'' was an S class submarine of the Royal Navy, and part of the Third Group built of that class. She was built by Scotts, of Greenock and launched on August 30, 1943. She served in the Second World War, spending most of it in the Pacific Far East, where she sank the small Japanese army cargo ship ''Toso Maru No.1'', the Japanese merchant cargo ship ''Manryo Maru'', four Japanese sailing vessels, a Japanese tug and a Japanese barge, three small unidentified Japanese vessels, three Siamese sailing vessels and six other small Siamese / Japanese vessels. ''Strongbow'' was detected on the surface off Port Swettenham, Malaya on 13 January 1945. Japanese escorts soon arrived to attack her. ''Strongbow'' managed to escape but sustained such depth charge damage during a 14-hour attack that she was rendered unfit for further service. She was decommissioned at Falmouth in June 1945, and scrapped at Preston in April 1946.〔(HMS Strongbow ), Uboat.net〕 ==References== 〔 * 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 Strongbow (P235)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
