HMS Tempest (N86)
HMS ''Tempest'' (N86) was a T-class submarine of the Royal Navy. She was laid down by Cammell Laird & Co Limited, Birkenhead and launched in June 1941.
==Career==
''Tempest'' had a short-lived career, serving in the Mediterranean.
She sailed from Malta on the night of 10 February 1942 to patrol the Gulf of Taranto. On the evening of the 11th ''Tempest'' was signalled that the Italians were aware of a submarine in her vicinity and that it should be assumed that her patrol had been compromised. On the 13th, ''Tempest'' was sighted on the surface by the Spica-class torpedo boat ''Circe''. ''Tempest'' crash dived and ''Circe'' began depth charging the area, eventually resulting in oil being seen on the surface. ''Tempest's'' battery tanks had burst filling the boat with chlorine gas and the vessel was forced to surface, whereupon she was hit by gunfire from the ''Circe''. The crew abandoned the submarine, and 23 of the crew of 62 were picked up some 3 hours later by the warship. The Italians attempted to board the abandoned vessel but were unable to, due to rough seas. Instead, the torpedo boat opened fire, scoring more than a dozen direct hits, but failing to sink the ''Tempest''. Finally the Italians attempted to take the submarine in tow. Two members of the warship’s crew boarded the submarine and prepared the tow. As ''Circe'' manoeuvred to take up the tow, ''Tempest'' suddenly started to sink, forcing those on board to jump into the sea. The submarine slipped beneath the waves stern-first, with the bows disappearing vertically.〔(Submarine losses 1904 to present day ), RN Submarine Museum, Gosport〕〔(HMS Tempest ), Uboot.net〕
