Description
The development of HM Naval Base Clyde is a story of growth and transformation. Originally used as a military port during World War II, the site was built and manned by the army before being taken over by the navy in 1957. Over the years, the base expanded to accommodate the increasing sophistication of its submarine fleet. This book tells the story of HM Naval Base Clyde from its early days to October 1996, when it became a Royal Navy base. It chronicles the histories of two submarine squadrons based at Faslane, the 3rd and 10th Squadrons, providing a fascinating insight into life on board these vessels. With unsurpassed pictorial detail, this collection is sure to evoke nostalgia among submariners and personnel who have served at the base, while also offering a unique perspective for those new to its story.
