HMS Affray was a British Amphion-class submarine built in the final stages of World War II for service in the Pacific. Commissioned in 1945, she featured a modular design, an all-welded hull, and ten torpedo tubes.
Transferred to the 3rd Submarine Flotilla, Affray participated in global exercises before being retrofitted with a snort mast in 1949. In April 1951, during Exercise Spring Train, she disappeared in the English Channel with 75 crew members.
A massive search effort located her wreck two months later near Alderney. Investigations suggested a failure in the snort mast or possible flooding as the cause. The wreck remains a war grave, protected under the Protection of Military Remains Act.
