H.M.S. R 10 was one of 10 submarines of the "R" class.
Service
At the end of 1920, all "R" class submarines other than R 4 were allocated to Group "K" of Reserve submarines at Portsmouth under the collective command of Lieutenant Vivian R. S. Bowlby, tenders to Dolphin.[6]
On 15 September, 1922, R 10-12 were sent to join Group "L" under Lieutenant Commander Frank P. Busbridge, joining three "G" class submarines.[7]
