HMS Safari, World War II submarine in Portland, Great Britain.
The S-class submarine measured 217 feet in length and carried six torpedo tubes in the bow section with additional reload capacity.
Commissioned in March 1942, HMS Safari conducted numerous Mediterranean operations, successfully sinking twenty-five enemy vessels during World War II.
The submarine's crew maintained detailed war diaries documenting their experiences, providing researchers with insights into Royal Navy submarine operations.
The submarine wreck rests at coordinates 50.426111, -2.048333, approximately two miles southeast of Portland Bill in British territorial waters.
While being towed for scrapping in January 1946, the submarine unexpectedly sank near Portland, creating an unintended underwater memorial.
