The Story of Midget Submarines and Human Torpedoes', White Lion publishing , London 1971 edition and nine other maritime related volumes.*Notes- The X class midget submarines were built for the Royal Navy during 1943-44 by Vickers Armstrong as the next step in submersible warfare from the Chariot manned torpedo. Known individually as 'X- craft', of the twelve vessels delivered in 1944 XT1 to XT6 were built as training craft as denoted by the letter 'T' (i) The First deployment of the X craft was in September 1943 for Operation Source, the attack on the German warships Tirpitz, Lutzow and Scharnhorst based at Kafjord, Nordkapp in Norway. Of the six craft used only two were successful in laying their charges under the Tirpitz (Scharnhorst and Lutzow being out on manoeuvres), crippling the ship and leaving her out of action until May 1944. X craft were also used in Operation Postage Able for Overload, D-day landings taking surveys of the landing beaches. Of the six XT craft two were taken to Aberlady Bay, East Lothian and moored to four anti-tank blocks at the low tide mark as targets for live fire missions by the RAF with experimental explosive cannon shells. Their structures can still be reached during low spring tides. The periscopes fitted to the XT craft were shorter than used on operational craft and also not retractable as the XT craft were built for training purposes only, at less expense and with fewer fittings (ii).* Notes References - i Warren, C, E, T. & Benson, J.
