HMS ''P48'' was a Royal Navy U-class submarine built by Vickers-Armstrong at Barrow-in-Furness. The submarine departed from Malta on her last patrol, on 23 December 1942 under the command of Lieutenant M.E. Faber. She was sunk with the loss of her entire crew two days later whilst attacking an Italian convoy in the Gulf of Tunis heading towards Tunis. The submarine was depth charged by two Italian torpedo boats, ''Ardente'' and ''Ardito'' at position 37º15'N, 10º30'E, north-west of the island of Zembra. The submarine was officially declared overdue on 5 January 1943.〔(Submarine losses 1904 to present day ), RN Submarine Museum, Gosport〕 This vessel and her crew were honored and immortalized by the nephew of one of the lost sailors (Lt. Stephen E. Spring Rice, RNVR) in the song "One of Our Submarines" by Thomas Dolby. ==References== *(【引用サイトリンク】 title= HMS P48 (P 48) ) * * 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 P48 (1942)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
