Description

*British, WW2, HM Submarine Una (N87) (P32) – Original Photograph*

HMS Una, a second-group U-class submarine, was built at Chatham Dockyard, laid down on 7 May 1940, and commissioned on 27 September 1941.

Approximate Measurements: 17.8cm x 12.6cm
Stamped on the reverse: "Not to be reproduced without prior written permission of the Royal Navy Submarine Museum. 8623."

This photograph originally formed part of the Lou Britton British Submarine Collection, which was acquired by the Royal Navy Submarine Museum, Gosport in 2007.

Career Highlights
During her Mediterranean operations in 1942, HMS Una sank the Italian tanker Luciana, the fishing vessel Maria Immacolata, and the merchants Ninetto G. and Petrarca. The sinking of Luciana was controversial, as the tanker had been granted immunity by the Admiralty, but the commander, Lieutenant D.S.R. Martin, was unaware due to illness. She also damaged two sailing vessels and the merchant Cosala, which later sank during a storm. However, several attacks were unsuccessful, including those on the Italian merchant Brioni, the tanker Panuco, and the German ship Menes. A torpedo attack on a merchant ship in Lampedusa harbor struck rocks.

In August 1942, Una disembarked a commando group near Catania, Sicily, to support Operation Pedestal. The mission aimed to attack an airfield but failed after the group, including Eric Newby (author of Love and War in the Apennines), was captured following the destruction of power lines between Syracuse and Catania.

After undergoing a refit in the UK, Una served in anti-submarine training from April to August 1943. Following the war, she was decommissioned in November 1945, sold for scrap on 11 April 1949, and later dismantled at Llanelly.
