Good question.  Looking it up in Busby (p. 141), it was made in
Farnborough England and, owned and operated by  D.H.B. Construction Ltd.,
based in Hampshire, England.

Seem to recall hearing a rather nationalistic story of JIM's construction
in Scotland (nationalism normally means bullshit stories) and how only
one part wasn't made in scotland.  Or maybe I'm mixing JIM up with another
sub.  I know JIM was stationed in Scotland to serve the North Sea Oil
fields, but don't know for how long, or even if JIM is still operational.

Cheers,
   Ian.
