Design and Construction
Rough design drawing of Group 3 Boats.[4]
The forward diving planes could swivel forward and conform to the side of the boat for better surface seakeeping.
Radio
By war's end, all boats of "E" class and later were given 3 kilowatt Poulsen wireless sets, affording ranges of 200 miles submarine-to-submarine, and 300-400 miles between shore stations and submarines. Reception of shore stations of 400 miles was common, and high power shore stations could be received over 500-600 miles.[5]
Torpedoes
Group 1-2:
- four 18-in tubes forward
Group 3:
- four 21-in tubes forward, six-eight torpedoes
Guns
H1 - H 4:[Citation needed]
- one 6-pdr Q.F. gun
Others:[6]
- None
