The lost British submarine "H.M.S. Triumph", whose true fate had been shrouded in mystery ever since the vessel and its entire crew disappeared in 1942, has finally been discovered at -203m depth in the Aegean Sea international waters by Greek researcher Kostas Thoctarides and his team, after a search lasting roughly 25 years. .The story of the submarine is both multidimensional and unique in naval annals as it is inextricably linked to the national resistance and the secret services of the time that were active during the occupation. The key to the case was research into primary historical sources. It required extensive study of archives in both England and Germany as well as in Italy and Greece.TRIUMPH had an impressive operational action. It undertook difficult and dangerous missions with landings of agents of the British SOE and MI9 organizations and rescues of trapped soldiers who had to escape to Alexandria, Egypt. Τhe research continues, mainly on a historical level as new elements and facts come to light which, combined with the information we now have from the wreck and with the assistance of experts from the navy specializing in submarines and torpedoes, will reveal the secrets of the H.M.S TRIUMPH.
HMS TRIUMPH is treated with the respect and sanctity it deserves as a " maritime war grave".
