Jimmy Launders
James S. "Jimmy" Launders DSO & Bar, DSC & Bar (1919–1988) was an officer in the British Royal Navy during and after World War II. He retired from the service in 1962, but continued to serve in an unofficial capacity on training programs until his death in 1988.〔United Kingdom Royal Navy Museum, Commander Launders' Service Record, Public Records〕 In addition to his reputation amongst his crew, colleagues, and historians as a brilliant, highly skilled, and courageous commander, Launders is remembered as the only submarine commander in history to have engaged and destroyed an enemy submarine (''U-864'') during time of war using only his own unaided vessel (HMS ''Venturer'') while both ships were fully submerged.〔''U864: Hitler's Deadly Last Secret'', Discovery Communications, 2006〕 The unique type of engagement and the unusual nature of the enemy submarine's mission has provided one of the more enduring footnotes to the war, further cementing the fame of Launders, ''Venturer'', and her crew for their wartime action.
==Early Royal Navy career==
Launders joined the Royal Navy as a cadet on 1 January 1938. Upon completion of his training, he was posted as a midshipman to the battlecruiser on 1 January 1939. He was serving aboard ''Repulse'' when the war broke out.〔
