Australian Submarine Heritage
http://www.mm.wa.gov.au/Museum/mhist/sub/home.html
Australia's submarine heritage goes back to December 1910 when two modified E class overseas submarines were ordered from Vickers in England. This single act recognised the tactical advantages these craft would bring to the then fledgling Royal Australian Navy. It started a tradition that exists to this day and is demonstrated in the building and operation of the Collins class boats.
Find Chase Sink
http://findchasesink.com
More than anything the site is a growing tribute to the USS Gudgeon (SS-211), the submarine that my uncle was lost on in WW II. The site is a companion site for the book "Find 'Em Chase 'Em Sink 'Em: The Mysterious Loss of the WW II Submarine USS Gudgeon" with updates on the book. It is very much under construction. I will be rotating the many photos that I own on the site, primarily the ones that were not included in the book. Many of these photos have never before been seen by the public.

Russian Juliett 484 museum in RI
http://www.juliett484.org/juliett/index.html
The submarine museum is located just off Interstate 95 in beautiful Collier Point Park, an urban oasis near the center of downtown Providence. Collier Point Park is adjacent to the Manchester Street Generating Station, entering at Henderson Street off Allens Avenue, immediately south of the power plant (GPS location 41 degrees 48.73N - 071 degrees 24.12 W).
Known as a Podvodnaya Lodka Raketnaya Krylataya (PLRK/PLK)-type submarine, this cruise missile (SSG) attack submarine was built by the Soviet Union in a production run that began in the late 1950s. Seventy two of these boats were originally envisioned - that was eventually scaled back to thirty five, with only sixteen of these actually entering the submarine fleet. The JULIETT class is diesel-powered; a nuclear propulsion variant of the platform (with two to four additional missile launchers) became what was known in the west as the ECHO class.

subsowespac.org
http://www.subsowespac.org
The site is focused on American World War II submarine operations in the Pacific War. The main purpose of the site is to honor and perpetuate the memory of the submariners who lost their lives during the Pacific Campaign. The site also contains information about an international online community known as the Pacific Thunder Campaign. This group was formed in 2000 by a group of submarine enthusiasts. Its purpose is to conduct an offline simulation of submarine operations in the Pacific War, using the Silent Hunter submarine simulation game. Our community members are also extremely interested in submarine models.

Welfreighter Mini Submarine
http://www.welfreighter.info
Attention has been drawn in the SubCommittee message board 2 weeks ago, following the death of one of my correspondants, to the private historical website that I have created to tell the story of the Welfreighter mini submarine.
This was developed by the British Special Operations Executive during WW2 to provide means for clandestine insertion of agents and intelligence gathering missions off enemy coastlines.
The Welfreighter was extensively tested in UK waters before being deployed to Australia in late 1944 for tropical testing and User trials. It has not yet been confirmed if any Welfreighter actually was used operationally in the Pacific war, but it now appears most likely that the sub was developed too late to be of much use.
I have outlined the history of the other mini / midget submersibles used by the British Navy in WW2, in the tellng of the development history.
