During her sixth war patrol, <i>Swordfish</i> was mistakenly bombed by a British aircraft, but sustained no damage. <i>Swordfish</i> disappeared during her twelfth patrol, after departing <a href="/wiki/Portsmouth" title="Portsmouth">Portsmouth</a> on 7 November. Although she was initially thought to have been sunk by German destroyers off Brest, she was determined to have been sunk by a mine when her wreck was discovered by diver Martin Woodward in June 1983 off the Isle of Wight. She had left Portsmouth Harbour only hours before, and it is assumed that she was carrying out a trim dive when she struck the German mine. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Design_and_description">Design and description</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=HMS_Swordfish_(61S)&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Design and description"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The S-class submarines were designed as successors to the <a href="/wiki/British_L-class_submarine" title="British L-class submarine">L class</a> and were intended to operate in the <a href="/wiki/North_Sea" title="North Sea">North</a> and <a href="/wiki/Baltic_Sea" title="Baltic Sea">Baltic Seas</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-h6_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-h6-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The submarines had a length of 202 feet 6 inches (61.7 m) <a href="/wiki/Length_overall" title="Length overall">overall</a>, a <a href="/wiki/Beam_(nautical)" title="Beam (nautical)">beam</a> of 24 feet (7.3 m) and a mean <a href="/wiki/Draft_(ship)" class="mw-redirect" title="Draft (ship)">draught</a> of 11 feet 11 inches (3.6 m).
