X Class Submarine - Surviving Examples

Surviving Examples

  • X24 - the only one to have seen service and survive is at the Royal Navy Submarine Museum, Gosport
  • The remains of two XT-class craft are present on the beach at Aberlady Bay in East Lothian, Scotland. They were towed there in 1946 and moored to a large concrete block at the low tide level and were used as targets for aircraft. Much of the structure remains, semisubmerged in the sand, and can be reached at low spring tides.
