Soufrière. The beast. She was the largest submarine in the world, an undersea cruiser with twin turret guns, her own spotter plane, and forty 'fish' in her tubes. She was French, but in 1941 Hitler's legions held Paris. Ainslie's men were the hand-picked best of the Royal Navy and de Gaulle's Free French, shuddering through the straits of Borneo, steaming for the lagoon where Soufrière lay hidden. Their job: seize her. |
