HMS Pandora was a Royal Navy Parthian class submarine, with a crew of 53. She was built by Vickers Armstrong at Barrow-in-Furness, and was launched on the 22nd August 1929. Before the outbreak of war she spent the most of the time in Far East, but in later 1939 she moved in Mediterranean and was based in Alexandria, Egypt. During 1940 she sank the French colonial sloop "Rigault de Genouilly", and three Italian cargo ships between 1941 and 1942. The Pandora was also engaged in carrying supplies to Malta during the siege. She was bombed on the 1st April 1942 whilst at Hamilton Wharf, Valetta dockyard, Malta by Italian aircraft on 1 April 1942. She had just arrived at Malta from Gibraltar loaded with supplies. Some of the survivors were killed a few weeks later, along with survivors from other downed subs, they left Malta on the 8th May 1942, to travel back to Britain onboard the British submarine HMS Oympus. The submarine struck a mine 6 miles out from St Elmo Light and was lost. The Pandora was raised in September 1943 but was not repaired, she was scrapped in 1955.
