The list of ships, submarines and civilian vessels built here in Barrow is, I think, an impressive one. Barrow has been building submarines since 1886 when the yard built subs for Nordenfelt; one of which was the first to fire a torpedo while submerged. The list includes Mikasa, Kongo, HMS Illustrious, the X craft from WW2, HMS Ajax and the armed merchant ship Jervis Bay.
As I type this there are two other posts in this section which refer to Barrow built vessels. British Majestic Class Aircraft Carriers. and AE2 - 1914 British E-Class submarine
Here is a link to some photos of Barrow built ships.
