HMS Unsparing (P55)

HMS Unsparing (P55)

HMS "Unsparing" (P51) was a Royal Navy U-class submarine built by Vickers-Armstrong. So far she has been the only ship of the Royal Navy to bear the name "Unsparing".

Career

"Unsparing" spent most of her wartime career in the Mediterranean, where she sank the Italian tanker "Flegetonte", the German merchant "Ingeborg" (the former French "Ste. Martine"), the German submarine chaser "UJ 2106" (the former Greek minelayer "Tenedos"), the German barge "Sybille" (the former French "Cassion") and the German ferry "SF 284", as well as six sailing vessels, including the Greek "Evangelistria". She also torpedoed and damaged the German merchant "Peter", as well as a number of sailing vessels.

"Unsparing" survived the war and was scrapped at Inverkeithing in 1946.
