EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Successful Escape: Submarine Training at HMS Vernon in the Late 1930s" In this evocative photograph from the past, we witness a pivotal moment in the submarine training regime at HMS Vernon, a prestigious shore establishment of the Royal Navy based in Chatham Dockyard, Kent, England. The image captures the essence of the rigorous and essential skills that submariners had to master to ensure their survival during operational dives. The scene unfolds on the surface of the water, with a submarine waiting patiently after a successful escape from a half-flooded chamber. The chamber, located at HMS Vernon, was an integral part of the training curriculum, designed to prepare submariners for emergencies and to hone their skills in using essential breathing apparatus. The floating chamber, with its porthole partially submerged, is a testament to the training that took place within its walls. The submarine crew, clad in their bulky, protective gear, are seen waiting on the surface, likely catching their breath after their underwater ordeal. Their relief is palpable, as they have successfully completed another training exercise, honing their skills in escaping from a flooded chamber. The image is a poignant reminder of the importance of preparation and teamwork in the challenging world of submarine warfare. This photograph, taken in the late 1930s, offers a unique glimpse into the history of submarine training at HMS Vernon. It is an educational and historical record of a bygone era, showcasing the determination and resilience of the submariners who served their country in the Royal Navy.
