Description

*British, WW2, HM Submarine Uproar – Original Photograph*

Original Photograph of WW2 Submarine Uproar. The two sailors have been identified as ERA John MacCurrach (left) and Signalman Gus Britton (right) - 1943. The reverse has a type note attached "Uproar's bridge showing name and the bracket on which aircraft recognition flares were fixed. On left is Engine Room Artificer John MacCurrach and on the right Signalman Gus Britton." This photograph originally formed part of the Lou Britton British Submarine Collection, which was acquired by the Royal Navy Submarine Museum, Gosport in 2007.

Approximate Dimensions: 20.2cm x 14.7cm

HMS Uproar (P31) was a Royal Navy U-class submarine built by Vickers-Armstrong at Barrow-in-Furness. Originally named P 31, she was renamed Ulleswater in February 1943 and finally Uproar in April 1943—the only RN vessel ever to bear that name. Early in her career, she participated in the Bismarck operation, though she did not directly engage the enemy.

Throughout World War II, Uproar operated mainly in the Mediterranean with the 10th Flotilla from Malta. After sustaining damage in an air raid, she resumed patrols, sinking several enemy ships including the Italian auxiliary patrol vessel D-15/Brindisi, the merchant Chietti (formerly French Artesien), and the passenger ship Andrea Sgarallino—with only four survivors out of 300 aboard—plus the Italian merchant Marin Sanudo. She was also targeted by depth charges from Italian torpedo boats and damaged other enemy vessels, such as the German tanker Matera and troop transport Virgilio, while torpedoing the tanker Champagne, which later ran aground off Corsica.

Uproar also made unsuccessful attacks against the Italian merchant Chisone, German submarine U-466, and Italian cruiser Raimondo Montecuccoli, and took part in operations Harpoon and Vigorous in June 1942. She survived the war, was sold for scrap on 13 February 1946, and dismantled at Thos. W. Ward in Inverkeithing.
