| History | HMS Vandal (Lt. John Stirling Bridger, RN) was wrecked off Kilbrennan Sound, Lochranza, Clyde on 24 February 1943 while working up, cause unknown. On 22 February 1943 she left the depot ship Forth, on Holy Loch, to carry out a three-day exercise in the Clyde, which was to include a deep dive on the 24th. During the exercise the submarine was under no obligation to communicate with her base and no alarm was felt when she did not do so. On 24 February 1943 Vandal was observed leaving her anchorage just north of the Isle of Arran. This was the last seen of her. She was rediscovered December 1994. War Grave 1995.
