HMS Tradewind (P329)
HMS ''Tradewind'' was a British submarine of the third group of the ''T'' class. She was built as ''P329'' at Chatham, and launched on 11 December 1942. So far she has been the only ship of the Royal Navy to be named ''Tradewind'', after the Trade winds.
==Second World War service==
She spent most of her wartime career operating against the Japanese in the Far East, attacking enemy shipping and laying mines. She sank nine Japanese sailing vessels, and two small unidentified Japanese vessels, a Japanese tug and the Japanese merchant tanker ''Takasago Maru''. The Japanese merchant cargo vessel ''Kyokko Maru'' was sunk after hitting a mine laid by ''Tradewind''.
Her most infamous sinking was of the Japanese army cargo ship ''Junyō Maru'' which was headed for Sumatra, on 18 September 1944. Unbeknown to the Commanding Officer of ''Tradewind'', Lt.Cdr. Lynch Maydon, the Japanese ship was carrying 4,200 Javanese slave labourers and 2,300 Allied prisoners of war from Batavia to Padang. 5,620 lives were lost in the sinking.〔(HMS Tradewind ), Uboot.net〕
