It was decided that she submarine could not be salvaged and the dead were left entombed at a depth of thirty fathoms. A final tribute to the fallen was conducted on 19 January, and included four sloops and twelve submarines under command of Rear-Admiral Nicholson in the minesweeper Ross. After the memorial service at 10am, a salute was fired, "The Last Post" sounded by bugle and a wreath laid.[6]
