North east yards never contributed much to the construction of submarines, in fact their record is absolutely abysmal.
Although i have posted this in Tyne shipbuilding one yard on the east coast had a superb and lengthy record of boat building, Chatham dockyard, but that is an entirely different story.
Back to the Tyne, even Vickers scarcely built any boats in the east, here is the last ever constructed for the RN...

with Vagabond, as here, being the last to launch and complete and see active RN service, 78 years ago. However, both Verve and Admirable (A class) had been laid down, duly cancelled and broken on their slips. In fact Verve was laid 2 days before Vagabond.
The history of cancelled V boats is fascinating and deeper rooted than most realise, the Tyne boats taking most of the hits. All six VA Tyne A class were cancelled.
I intend this to be a lengthy trawl through the few NE boats (all subs are boats) built, or on second thoughts it will not be that lengthy as nothing much happened.
