- HMS Urge was a British U-class submarine, of the second group of that class, built by Vickers Armstrong, Barrow-in-Furness. She was laid down on 30 October 1939, and was commissioned on 12 December 1940. From 1941–1942 she formed part of the 10th Submarine Flotilla based in Malta and spent most of her career operating in the Mediterranean, where she damaged and sank enemy warships and merchant vessels and undertook both SBS and SIS special operations. She was commanded by Lieutenant-Commander Edward Philip Tomkinson, DSO, RN. She was lost with all hands and a number of naval passengers (and one war correspondent) on 27 April 1942 after striking a German mine off Malta. Urge had an intensive 20-patrol career lasting a little over a year before her loss. In December 1941, Lieutenant-Commander Tomkinson, received the DSO and bar, was mentioned in dispatches, and at his request, received two years' seniority in lieu of a second bar to the DSO; in 1942, further awards to Tomkinson were pending for the torpedoing of the Italian battleship Vittorio Veneto on 14 December, 1941 and the sinking of the Italian cruiser Giovanni dalle Bande Nere on 1 April, 1942 but he was lost before these awards could be made. Vice Admiral Sir Arthur Hezlet stated in his history of British Submarines in WW2 that had Tomkinson survived he would “almost certainly” have received a third bar to the DSO. Vice-Admiral Sir Ian McGeogh, a post-war Flag Officer Submarines who served briefly on Urge in 1941, wrote that Tomkinson "should in my view have been awarded the Victoria Cross - preferably before he was lost." HMS Urge's crew were awarded a number of Distinguished Service Crosses and Distinguished Service Medals. The first lieutenant was Lieutenant JMS Poole, DSC and Bar, RN. The Chief Petty Officer, CJJ Jackman, was awarded the DSM and Bar and mentioned in despatches three times. At the time of her loss, the commander-in-chief Mediterranean reported to the Admiralty that the "loss of this outstanding submarine and commanding officer is much to be regretted." Urge was adopted and partially funded by the people of the Welsh town Bridgend, as a result of the national "warship week" in 1941. In 1948 a building at HMS Dolphin was named after HMS Urge (along with other famous WW2 submarines). In 1975, a building at HMS Dolphin in Gosport, was named after Lieutenant-Commander Tomkinson, alongside others named after other leading Royal Navy World War II submarine captains. In late October 2019, it was announced that a maritime archeology project (Project Spur) had discovered the wreck of the submarine off the coast of Malta. The project was led by Timmy Gambin of the Archeology and Classics Department of the University of Malta, Francis Dickinson, a grandson of Lieutenant-Commander Tomkinson, and Platon Alexiades, a naval researcher from Canada. The search was conducted by a team led by Professor Gambin. In 2022 a memorial to those who lost their lives while serving in HMS Urge was unveiled at Fort St Elmo in Malta by the President of Malta and the British High Commissioner to Malta. The unveiling formed part of a number of events to commemorate those lost, which included a wreath laying at sea and was attended by HMS Urge families and friends and the Royal Navy Submarine Service.

Il opère en mer Méditerranée, endommageant notamment le cuirassé italien Vittorio Veneto lors de la première bataille de Syrte le 17 décembre 1941. Le 27 avril 1942, il part de Malte pour Alexandrie et n'arrivera jamais à destination. Il saute sur une mine au large de Malte. Son épave sera retrouvée en 2019. (fr)
- Lo HMS Urge (N17) fu un sommergibile appartenente al Gruppo 2 della classe U della Royal Navy, costruito dalla Vickers-Armstrongs presso i cantieri di Barrow-in-Furness. La sua realizzazione fu in parte finanziata da una raccolta fondi svolta nella città gallese di Bridgend. Il vascello fu impostato il 30 ottobre del 1939 ed entrò in servizio il 12 dicembre 1940. Svolse la propria attività operativa nelle acque del Mar Mediterraneo contro il naviglio italiano impegnato nelle operazioni di rifornimento verso la Libia italiana. Proprio durante una di queste missioni scomparve nelle profondità del mare verso la fine dell'aprile 1942, in circostanze mai chiarite con certezza. Fu uno dei quattro sottomarini di classe U che avevano tubi di lancio per siluri esterni in aggiunta ai 4 interni inseriti in tutte le navi, ma questa modifica venne esclusa dalle unità successive perché interferivano con il mantenimento della quota alla profondità di periscopio.

- O HMS Urge foi um submarino operado pela Marinha Real Britânica e um membro do segundo grupo da Classe U. Sua construção começou em outubro de 1939 nos estaleiros da Vickers-Armstrongs e foi lançado ao mar em agosto de 1940, sendo comissionado na frota britânica em dezembro do mesmo ano. Era armado com quatro tubos de torpedo de 533 milímetros, possuía um deslocamento submerso de 740 toneladas e conseguia alcançar uma velocidade máxima de onze nós (vinte quilômetros por hora) na superfície e dez nós (dezoito quilômetros por hora) submerso. O Urge entrou em serviço no início da Segunda Guerra Mundial e foi enviado para o Mar Mediterrâneo, mas no caminho acabou afundando o navio tanque italiano Franco Martelli, na Baía de Biscaia. Pelos anos seguintes o submarino afundou vários navios de transporte italianos, além do cruzador rápido Giovanni delle Bande Nere em abril de 1942. O Urge antes tinha conseguido danificar o couraçado Vittorio Veneto em dezembro de 1941. O submarino partiu em sua última patrulha em abril de 1942, porém afundou no final do mês seguinte depois de bater em uma mina naval. (pt)
