ⓘWhat do the D1–D5 confidence tiers mean?›
- D1A single attributed public source (museum, council, Historic England, CWGC, mapping data).
- D2Two or more independent public sources corroborate the same facts.
- D3A named coordinator or local reviewer has confirmed the public-source account.
- D4A named observer has personally visited and documented the site — photographs, inscriptions, condition.
- D5An archive or institution has provided written documentation supporting the entry.
A higher tier means more corroborating evidence, not automatic historical certainty. The Discovery layer does not replace archival verification.
On the Victoria Embankment in London, the National Submarine War Memorial honours the submariners of the Royal Navy lost at sea. A bronze relief shows the cramped interior of a submarine; flanking panels list the boats lost in the two World Wars, the Second World War names added in 1959. It remains the focus of the Submariners' annual remembrance.
This page is maintained within the coordinator network. Confirming and upholding the accuracy of its content is the coordinator’s responsibility.
What this page does not claim
