H.M.S. D 1 (1908)
Pendant Number: I.71 (1914)
D.1 (mid 1915)[1]
Builder: Vickers[2]
Ordered: 1906-07 Estimates[3]
Launched: 16 May, 1908[4]
Expended: 23 Oct, 1918[5]
Fate: sunk as target

H.M.S. D 1 was one of eight "D" class submarines built for the Royal Navy.

Service

D 1, E 55 and E 26 of the Eighth Submarine Flotilla sortied from Harwich at 7 p.m., GMT on 30th May 1916 to take stations at eight mile intervals on a line stretching 20 miles westward from the Vyl Light Vessel. D 1's position was most distant, and the least eventful. She made her station at 4.30 a.m. on June 1st, but she sighted nothing throughout her patrol. She and her two compatriots left their pickets to return to Harwich after dark on June 3rd.[6]

In October, 1918, the British sank D 1 three miles outside of Dartmouth's harbour in 25 fathoms to serve as a target for experiments with antisubmarine detection apparatus.[7]
