H.M.S. B 10 was one of eleven "B" class coastal submarines completed for the Royal Navy.
Service
In the summer of 1914, B 10 went to Malta as one of three "B" class boats to initially constitute what would become the Mediterranean Submarine Flotilla.
Around November, 1915, B 10 was transferred to the British Adriatic Squadron, becoming one of a six "B" class boats in the formation. At a time when it coastal submarines were enjoying ever-less utility, the Adriatic was well-suited to operations by such handy craft.
