Product Description

The Centenary of the Royal Navy Submarine Service - 10 April 2001

2001 marks the centenary of the Royal Navy Submarine Service. Early submarines were, in fact, submersibles which spent most of their time on the surface and only submerged occasionally. Since the introduction of nuclear-powered engines, submarines can spend weeks below the surface of the oceans and ice caps.

All the stamps are designed by Dick Davis who also designed the presentation pack and FDC.
