H.M.S. H 51 (1918)
Pendant Number: H.51[1]
Builder: Pembroke Royal Dockyard[2]
Ordered: March, 1917[3]
Launched: 15 Nov, 1918[4]
Sold: Jun, 1924[5]

H.M.S. H 51 was one of forty-four "H" class submarines completed for the Royal Navy in the 1910s.

Service

On 21 April, 1920, Lieutenant in Command Kenneth Mathieson Fardell was tried by Court Martial on a charge of having hazarded the boat during exercises on March 2 and 4. He had surfaced too close to H.M.S. Warwick and used the wrong pressure air in blowing ballast. He was found guilty on both charges and reprimanded.[6]

At the end of 1920, she was the only boat in reserve submarine group "G" at Portland, tender to Vulcan. With just a single submarine in this group, it seems likely that more vessels would be allocated.
