About this site
HMS Capel was a British Captain-class frigate torpedoed by a German U-boat in late 1944 while operating in the English Channel off the Normandy coast. The wreck now lies broken on the seabed off Calvados, in waters commonly dived by technical and wreck-focused divers working out of Normandy's Channel ports. Given its depth and the exposed Channel setting, it is generally treated as a dive for those with wreck experience rather than a casual outing. Currents and limited visibility in this part of the Channel are typical considerations for anyone planning the site.
