373 merchant ships, 312 submarines and 148 naval surface ships have been built in Barrow (for navies and companies based in the likes of Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, India, Japan, Netherlands, Russia, United Kingdom, United States).[1]

All but three nuclear submarines of the Royal Navy were built in Barrow, including the latest class of fleet submarines currently under construction by BAE Systems Submarine Solutions, utilising the massive Devonshire Dock Hall.

Abdül Hamid (the first submarine in the world to fire a live torpedo underwater), HMS Upholder (the most successful Royal Navy submarine of World War II) and the 103,000-ton oil tanker British Admiral (once the world's largest ship) were also built in Barrow, as were a number of ocean liners for Cunard Line, Inman Line, Orient Line and P&O.

Key facts edit

  • The largest ship ever to be built in Barrow was the 103,000-ton oil tanker British Admiral.[95] She was the first of her size to ever be built in Britain and even held the title of being the world's largest ship for a short time.
  • The largest liner built at Barrow was Oriana. She was 804 ft long (245 m), 97 ft wide (30 m) and weighed 41,910 tons. She had a speed capable of reaching 30.64 knots (56.75 km/h; 35.26 mph), and was also the first liner to be fitted with transverse propulsion.[96]
  • The largest navy ship built in Barrow was Battleship HMS Revenge. Her Full load displacement was just over 36,000 tons.[97]
  • The largest loss of life on a Barrow-built ship was on 28 November 1942, when RMS Nova Scotia acting as a troop ship during World War II was torpedoed off the coast of South Africa by a German submarine, killing 858. This is closely followed by the events of 9 July 1917, when 843 men were killed in the UK's worst ever explosion on board HMS Vanguard.
  • The most recent Barrow-built vessel to be lost during a military campaign occurred in 1982 during the Falkland War when HMS Sheffield was attacked and sunk by the Argentine Navy.
  • The first ship to be built in Barrow was Jane Roper, which was launched in 1852, and Barrow's first steamship, a 3,000-ton liner named Duke of Devonshire, was launched in 1873.
  • The most successful British submarine of World War II was built in Barrow. HMS Upholder completed 24 patrols, sinking around 120,000 tons of enemy shipping, including the Italian destroyer Libeccio after the Battle of the Duisburg Convoy and the 18,000-ton Italian liner SS Conte Rosso.
