| During the dangerous days of WW2, German Navy motor torpedo boats operated in the English Channel, searching for prey. |
 |
Stone, today's home of SSC was then home to British MTBs whose task it was to hunt down the German craft - both above and below the surface.
After the Allied invasion of France in 1944, Stone became a navy supply base, supporting the new Mulberry harbours and our forces in France. |
