+ | * one 4-in gun forward (a second, aft, in {{UK-P52}}). | ||
+ | * one 2-pdr pom-pom | ||
+ | * two single 14-in torpedo tubes (seemingly fitted to fire at fixed angles on the quarters, these were removed by 1918 to make room for more depth charges{{ARTS1918|p. 84}}) | ||
+ | * two cradles aft for single depth charges | ||
− | + | Many of the 14-in torpedo tubes removed from these boats was fitted in destroyers of the [[Harwich Force]] and [[Dover Patrol]] as fixed tubes firing on the beam.{{ARTS1918|p. 84}} | |

Latest revision as of 19:18, 13 July 2019
A total of 43 "P" Boats were completed for patrol work with the Royal Navy. Ten additional vessels (seemingly, Ps 42-44, 51, 55, 56, 60-63) were started but were completed as "PC" Boats.
All were launched between October 1915 and May 1918, but the launch dates we provide are approximate.

Design
"P" boats resembled submarines, with a low appearance and ram bow. Large rudders combined with a sprightly hull form ensured high manoeuvrability.
Armament
- one 4-in gun forward (a second, aft, in P52).
- one 2-pdr pom-pom
- two single 14-in torpedo tubes (seemingly fitted to fire at fixed angles on the quarters, these were removed by 1918 to make room for more depth charges[1])
- two cradles aft for single depth charges
Many of the 14-in torpedo tubes removed from these boats was fitted in destroyers of the Harwich Force and Dover Patrol as fixed tubes firing on the beam.[2]
