Non-free media information and use rationale true for HMS Conqueror (S48)

Description

HMS Conqueror (S48) 4 July 1982 returning to the Clyde Submarine base (Faslane) from the Falklands War. The Jolly Roger on the tower carries an atomic symbol (as it is the first to be flown by a nuclear submarine) as well as a symbol denoting a sunken warship and a dagger for a special ops raid. The British Naval tradition is to fly a Jolly Roger when returning to port when the sub made a kill at sea. The symbolism used was not standard, normally a red bar indicated a warship sunk, Conqueror used a silhouette of a warship in white bunting. Crossed torpedoes were used instead of cross bones under the skull. The dagger for a special operation was not strictly correct as the landing of special forces was done into Grytviken after the fall of S Georgia rather than as part of its recapture.
