Submariners produced `local newspapers' for many years,
starting with Cdr Edward Young's single-sheet newspaper on
the submarine HMS Seraph in the Second World War, now housed
in the Submarine Museum. With the advent of the nuclear
submarine, Xerox machines and unlimited electrical supplies,
the magazines really took off. They enjoyed a long
popularity and were held in much affection by submarine
crews for their irreverent and decidedly un-PC approach to
underwater life from the 1970s-1990s, though the practice of
producing magazines has tailed off in recent years with the
rise of the internet and the age of `political correctness'.
