H.M.S. L 11 was one of thirty-five "L" class submarines completed for the Royal Navy.
Service
In late 1920, she was one of two "L" class vessels in submarine reserve group "M" at Portland, tender to Lucia.[6]
In March, 1925 she, L 21 and L 22 comprised Group "E" Submarines in Reserve at Portsmouth under the command of Lieutenant-Commander Arthur Laugham Noakes.[7]
She commissioned at Portsmouth on 13 November 1925 under the command of Lieutenant-Commander George J. D. Tweedy.[8]
In mid-1927 she was one of four boats in Group "D" submarines in reserve at Portsmouth, which was under the command of Arthur Salusbury Lindsell.[9]
In early 1929, she and L 12 comprised Group "D" submarines in Reserve at Portsmouth under the collective command of Lieutenant-Commander Harry Percy Kendall Oram, who'd been appointed on 30 July, 1928.[10]
She was one of three "L" class boats taken into Dockyard Control at Portsmouth on 14 May, 1931.[11]

- Lieutenant-Commander Arthur L. Noakes, 8 September, 1924[14] (and also two other "L" class boats comprising Group "E" in reserve at Portsmouth)
- Lieutenant-Commander George J. D. Tweedy, 13 November, 1925[15] – 1 October, 1926

- Lieutenant-Commander John R. S. Brown, 30 July, 1929 – 27 September, 1929 (this is possibly poorly erased in his Service Record)
The conflict between Fell and Galpin is noted. Fell's appointment is for "a submarine" in his service record and is therefore somewhat less likely.
