	X class submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The X class was a World War II midget submarine class built for the Royal Navy during 1943â“44.
		The X class submarines' weapons were two side-cargoes - explosive charges each held on opposite sides of the hull with two tons of explosive ( amatol) each.
		Scharnhorst was engaged in exercises at the time, and hence was not at her normal mooring, X10's attack was abandoned, although this was due to mechanical and navigation problems, and the submarine returned to rendezvous with her 'tug' submarine and was taken back to Scotland.

		While UNCLOS XE “LOST” has effectively codified many aspects of traditional law and has successfully incorporated several modern issues, such as environment, fisheries, and coastal zone management, these can be regarded as “nice to have” accomplishments but are by no means essential to the political, economic, or military security of the United States.
		In fact, one of the principal reasons for the establishment of UNCLOS XE “UNCLOS” III was to resolve U.S. conflicts with several Latin American states over territorial sea claims in the Pacific Ocean and the repeated seizure of U.S. tuna boats and their crews.

		The XE class was the successor of the very successful X class of Tirpitz and operation Source fame.
		It is also sometimes said that their success is the reason why the surface fleet "forgot" the midget submarine threat and that is explains the lack of technology and expertise to hunt midget submarines obvious in the early 1980's.

		Lieutenant Fraser commanded His Majesty's Midget Submarine XE-3 in a successful attack on a Japanese heavy cruiser of the Atago class at her moorings in Johore Strait, Singapore, on 31st July, 1945.
		Leading Seaman Magennis served as Diver in His Majesty's Submarine XE-3 for her attack on 31st July, 1945, on a Japanese cruiser of the Atago class.
		Owing to the fact that XE-3 was tightly jammed under the target, the diver's hatch could not be fully opened, and Magennis had to squeeze himself through the narrow space available.

		Many other engineers working in the submarine’s adjacent engineering spaces were severely poisoned by radiation, and cesium and strontium poisons, by-products of the fission, spilled on the deck and tracked throughout the boat, spreading enough pollutants to contaminate all aboard.
		When the submarine met rescue forces, most of the crew had suffered some degree of radiation exposure; all were evacuated from the submarine.

		The I-401 Sensuikan Toku class submarine was the largest sub ever built prior to the nuclear ballistic missile submarines that started to appear in the 1960s.
		Fortunately, Japan’s flotilla of giant submarines was never tested in combat, as the war ended shortly after their construction was complete.
		The sub that was discovered by the divers was one that had been scuttled by the U.S. Navy, partly to keep them from revealing their secrets to Russian scientists.
