HMS Sea Scout (P253)

HMS "Sea Scout" was an S class submarine of the Royal Navy, and part of the Third Group built of that class. She was built by Cammell Laird and launched on March 24 1944. So far she has been the only ship of the Royal Navy to bear the name "Sea Scout".

She spent most of her wartime career in the Far East, where she sank numerous Japanese ships, including twelve sailing vessels, two coasters, two unidentified vessels, a sampan, a patrol vessel and a tug with five barges.
