I will tell you what I noticed: W. F. Leysmith is a reporter. Lots of facts, lots of good, solid description, not a shred of his own opinion to be found.

This type of story is one reason why I enjoy reading the WWII+70 years threads. I had never heard of the Thetis before. In these days of nuclear submarines with underwater endurance based primarily on food supplies for the crew, this story points out just how fragile subs were and even when they weren't fully submerged they could be deathtraps.
After the Thetis was salvaged it was repaired and renamed the HMS Thunderbolt.
