Yorkshire:Morley, The Elmfield Press, 1974, reprint edition, 5 1/2 x 8 1.2, hard bound in dust jacket, VG/VG condition, 191 pages, illustrated............................................... At six o'clock on the morning of 19th September 1941, the naval tanker Denbydale was lying peacefully "at anchor in the Grand Harbour of Gibraltar one of the safest in the world. Suddenly 500 lbs of explosive went off under it, shattering its underplates and turning it into a useless hulk. A few minutes afterwards the cargo vessel Durham and the tanker Fiona Shell lurched and settled down, seriously damaged by similar explosions. Theunderwater war had started with a vengeance........................................................ That very day counter-measures were started by the British Admiralty, counter-measures which led eventually to a new and powerful striking arm of the British Navy.This book is the story of the brave men who worked alone, under the water. Some wore rubber suits with great webbed feet, some walked or crawled on the muddy bottoms of harbours in complete darkness, looking for mines, some bestrode torpedoes, some slipped through the black waters in midget submarines. They worked alone, in the dark, in enemy waters, with the grim knowledge that for them there might be no return. But their thoughts were solely on attack; they were determined to cripple the enemy, no matter what the hazards or how great the cost.
