The A-Class

This Minic Ships model is of one of the Royal Navy's forty-six "A" Class submarines ordered during the Second World War. Thirty boats were cancelled at the end of the war with the remaining sixteen boats being laid down between 1943 and 1945 and commissioned between 1945 and 1948.

The Museum has two of this model, both with grey bodies and black communications masts.
