6) 1939 - 1st June : HMS THETIS (submarine) - amongst the 99 crew who lost their lives during her sea trails in Liverpool Bay was Able Seaman Stanley Crombleholme. Only 4 crew members managed to escape with a torpedo tube being used because of pressure differentials. A fifth member drowned in the tube and blocked it thus stopping the rest of the crew from escaping.

From the Lancashire Evening Post 2nd & 10th June 1939 : Seaman Stanley Crombleholme of 91 Withers Street, Blackburn was one of the Thetis disaster victims. 300 boys of his school assembled in the room in which Stanley Crombleholme had stood a few years ago. The mayor paid tribute to him. He was aged 20 and had been in the Navy three years.
