Vickers and Barrow are names synonymous with the development of the submarine. Hundreds of submarines covering virtually every class have been built for the Royal Navy and foreign Navies. This site is dedicated to not only to those who have served on Her Majesty's Submarines but also to those employees past and present whose skills and efforts have given pride to the phrase 'Barrow built' and made the name Vickers known and respected throughout the world.

| The Submarine was under tow by HMS Syrtis in the Pentland Firth on Monday 7th February 1944 when the Officer of the Watch (Lieutenant Charles Blythe, RNR) was washed overboard from the bridge of HMS Syrtis. The Commanding Officer of HMS Syrtis (Lieutenant M H Jupp, Royal Navy) reversed course in an attempt to rescue his ‘man overboard’ and accidentally collided with Submarine X-22. Submarine X-22 sank at once and Lieutenant MacFarlane and his crew of three were all lost. | |
