HMS Ambrose was a shore establishment, a Royal Navy submarine base located at Dundee Harbour and which served as the headquarters and home port of the 9th Submarine Flotilla from 1940 to 1946. The flotilla was an international force comprised of British units along with Free French, Dutch, Norwegian and Polish crews after those countries had been overrun by the Nazis. From the summer of 1944, Russian submarine crews were also to be found at Dundee.
