HMS Sturdy (P248)

HMS Sturdy 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 September 30, 1943.

She survived the Second World War, spending most of it in the Pacific Far East, where she sank eleven Japanese sailing vessels, two Japanese tugboats and three barges, three Japanese fishing vessels, five small unidentified Japanese vessels, a coaster, two small Japanese landing craft, the Japanese Communication Vessels No.142 and No.128 and the Japanese ships Kosei Maru (99 BRT) and Hansei Maru.

Sturdy was sold in July 1957. She arrived at the yards of Clayton and Davie on May 9, 1958 for breaking up.
