Talk:British T-class submarine

Turbulent sank over 90,000 tons of enemy shipping. She was depth charged on over 250 occasions by enemy forces hunting her.
The sentence "She was depth charged on over 250 occasions by enemy forces hunting her." is misleading because the British submarine HMS Turbulent was hunted thirteen times by Axis forces, and in those thirteen incidents two hundred and fifty depth=charges were dropped on the British submarine in total.

The King has been graciously pleased to approve of the grant of the Victoria Cross for great valour in command of HM Submarines to Commander John Wallace Linton, DSO, DSC, Royal Navy. From the outbreak of war until HMS Turbulent's last patrol, Commander Linton was constantly in command of submarines, and during that time inflicted great damage on the enemy. He sank one cruiser, one destroyer, one U-boat, twenty-eight supply ships, some 100,000 tons in all, and destroyed three trains by gunfire. In his last year he spent two hundred and fifty-four days at sea, submerged for nearly half the time, and his ship was hunted thirteen times and had two hundred and fifty depth-charges aimed at her. His many and brilliant successes were due to his constant activity and skill, and the daring which never failed him when there was an enemy to be attacked. On one occasion, for instance, in HMS Turbulent, he sighted a convoy of two merchantmen and two destroyers in mist and moonlight. He worked round ahead of the convoy and dived to attack it as it passed through the moon's rays. On bringing his sights to bear he found himself right ahead of a destroyer. Yet he held his course 'till the destroyer was almost on top of him, and, when his sights came on the convoy, he fired. His great courage and determination were rewarded. He sank one merchantman and one destroyer outright, and set the other Merchantmen on fire so that she blew up.

Deck gun
"...single 4-inch (100 mm)/50 caliber deck gun". I don't think so, only British 4-inch 50 cal gun was Mark VII and it wasn't deployed on submarines. This class deployed 40 cal Mk XII and XXII 4-inch guns. I've corrected the text. Rcbutcher (talk) 07:54, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
