HMS Urge

War History Online has an article about some obscure World War Two history:

The disappearance of HMS Urge (photo) had been a mystery since its last journey from Malta to the coast of Egypt. Famously paid by the common people of Bridgend in South Wales, HMS Urge had ten passengers and thirty crew on board the day it vanished.
A Belgian diver, Jean-Pierre Misson, managed to dig through piles of German wartime records to find out what happened to the submarine. He discovered that HMS Urge was, in fact, dive-bombed by an Italian plane, and consequently sunk. This has come as a relief for the families of the crew and passengers, after almost seventy-five years of loss and despair.
HMS Urge was a huge project even by today’s standards; the total cost of the submarine was around £300,000, which is a massive £12 million today. The amazing thing about the Urge was the fact that it was owned and loved by the people of Bridgend, who raised all the money for its construction through football matches, art exhibitions, theater shows, and whist tournaments. The people of Bridgend effectively help built the submarine, and later adopted it as well. The crew of the submarine received gifts and luxuries from them until 29 April 1942, when it sank without a trace.
After going through German records to identify the submarine, Misson traced HMS Urge to somewhere off the Libyan coast, near Marsa el Hilal. This was when Misson’s search hit a brick wall, because it was almost impossible to conduct a search mission due to the Libyan civil war, the Express reports.
Since 2011, Libya had been spiraling downwards into a black hole of civil war and terrorism after the demise of Muammar Qaddafi, the ruthless dictator who ruled the country for over forty years. Libya has since become a hot bed of militias, pirates, and Islamic fundamentalists, making any peaceful search impossible. There are scores of museums with priceless relics from the past up and down the country that are under imminent threat, and historians have grave concerns about safety of such relics.
Misson said that he has done what he could do on his own, by identifying the possible location of wreck of HMS Urge. Misson, now 76, said that it is impossible for him to conduct any search and rescue mission on his own off the coast of Libya, and that he needs help and support from others. He said he has already put forward a statement of identification to the Royal Navy Submarine Museum, the Bridgend Register Office, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, and the Submariners Association UK.
Masson has expressed a hope that, some day, NATO and Europe will organize a search and recovery mission for this beloved submarine, bringing peace to the families of the crew of HMS Urge.

Rico says that, given the UK's financial problems, this is probably low on their list...
