Historical Facts and Uniqueness

X-Craft type submarines are miniature submarines designed by the Royal Navy for secret and daring underwater missions, such as Operation Source – the attack on the German battleship Tirpitz in a Norwegian fjord in 1943. These submarines were manned by just a four-person crew and carried explosive charges to be attached under enemy hulls. Their participation in wartime operations went down in Allied naval history as an example of remarkable bravery and military innovation.
