HMS Thorough (P324)

HMS Thorough (P324)

HMS "Thorough" was a British submarine of the third group of the "T" class. She was built as "P324" by Vickers Armstrong, Barrow, and launched on 30 October 1943. So far she has been the only ship of the Royal Navy to bear the name "Thorough".

"Thorough" served in the Far East for much of her wartime career, where she sank twenty seven Japanese sailing vessels, seven coasters, a small Japanese vessel, a Japanese barge, a small Japanese gunboat, a Japanese trawler, and the Malaysian sailing vessel "Palange". In August 1945, in company with HMS "Taciturn", she attacked Japanese shipping and shore targets off northern Bali. "Thorough" sank a Japanese coaster and a sailing vessel with gunfire.

She survived the war and continued in service with the Navy, finally being scrapped at Dunston on Tyne on 29 June 1962. [ [http://uboat.net/allies/warships/ship/3521.html HMS Thorough] , Uboot.net]
