Loch Striven, Sea loch in Argyll and Bute, Scotland
Loch Striven extends northward for 8 miles from the Firth of Clyde, forming a deep marine inlet within the Cowal Peninsula.
During World War II, the Royal Navy used Loch Striven for training X-craft submarines, preparing for operations against German vessels.
The waters of Loch Striven maintain Scottish maritime traditions, with local fishing vessels operating through different seasons.
Access to the southern section of Loch Striven is possible through minor roads, while the northern part requires water transportation.
The loch houses an Oil Fuel Depot at Knockdow, which supplies fuel to Royal Navy and NATO vessels since the 1960s.
