H.M.S. B 9 was one of eleven "B" class coastal submarines completed for the Royal Navy.

Service

In the summer of 1914, B 9 went to Malta as one of three "B" class boats to initially constitute what would become the Mediterranean Submarine Flotilla.

Around October, 1915, B 9 was transferred to the British Adriatic Squadron along with sisters B 7 and B 8. At a time when it coastal submarines were enjoying ever-less utility, the Adriatic was well-suited to operations by such handy boats.

B 9 was withdrawn from service around November 1916 and taken to Malta, where she would be reconfigured for surface-only operation as an "S" class patrol boat. She returned with three sisters to the Adriatic Squadron in August 1917.
