waters in the Atlantic - where P.615 was torpedoed by a U-Boat in 1943. After the war, P.614 was eventually delivered to. Turkey renamed Burak Reis, and the three delivered boats all remained in service with the Turkish Navy until 1957.
As the world moved into a new era of peace, Barrow's contribution to the national war effort makes a fascinating catalogue. To quote them from 'A Century of Shipbuilding' by Tom Clark - 'A cursory check has made it four aircraft carriers, three cruisers, ten destroyers, ten cargo ships, eleven landing craft and ninety-nine submarines!' An amazing total of 137 vessels, built in under six years. The majority of the submarines were handed over in the four years of 1941 to 1944, and the peak rate of production was reached in 1942 when an average of over two boats per month was achieved.
