John Roxburgh

Vice-Admiral Sir John Roxburgh KCB CBE DSO DSC When he took command of the submarine P 44, later to be named United, in December 1942, aged 23, Roxburgh was the youngest submarine commander in the Royal Navy. In 10 months he sent 21,000 tons of enemy ships to the bottom and damaged a further 12,000 tons, a remarkable achievement even for one of the extraordinary Fighting Tenth Flotilla based on Malta. On several occasions he came close to losing his boat in his many contacts with the enemy but survived to pursue a distinguished career in the Royal Navy including a period as Flag Officer Submarines. He was awarded a Bar to his DSC in 1945.
