Malta Submarine Flotilla
From The Dreadnought Project
The Malta Submarine Flotilla was a formation of submarines of the Royal Navy.
History
The officer in charge of this formation seems to have been on the books of Egmont. If this pattern were uniform, it seems that Lieutenant Ernest William Leir may have been the first commander of the unit, in mid 1911.
