Beneath the Waves: A History of HM Submarine Losses 1904-1971
A simoom is a hot, cyclonic wind which blows across the African, Arabian, and
Syrian deserts. It often raises heavy sandstorms. When launched by Cammell
Laird in October 1942, His Majesty's Submarine Simoom was named after this
wind.
The name means poison wind and is given because the sudden onset of simoom may also cause heat stroke. This is attributed to the fact that the hot wind brings more heat to the body than can be disposed of by the evaporation of perspiration.
