HMS Affray Memorial - 24 September 2013

HMS Affray, a British Amphion-class submarine was the last Royal Navy submarine to be lost at sea, on 16 April 1951, with the loss of 75 lives.

My attention was drawn to the existence of this memorial, dedicated only on 16 April 2013, by a less distinct photograph from another Flickr member. It is on the Gosport waterfront very close to the epicentre of UK submarine history and I hope my image helps to commemorate those lost in this tragedy.
