H.M.S. C 17 (1908)
Pendant Number: I.47 (1914)
C.17 (mid 1915)[1]
Builder: Chatham Royal Dockyard[2]
Launched: 13 Aug, 1908[3]

H.M.S. C 17 was one of thirty-eight "C" class coastal submarines completed for the Royal Navy.

Service

C 17 was launched shortly after noon on 13 August, 1908, having been built under conditions of "close secrecy" in an enclosed slipway. Vice Admiral Giffard's wife named the submarine, offering a bouquet of flowers from Miss Ollis, daughter of the constructive manager at Chatham Royal Dockyard. The boat bobbed out easily into "the open waters of the Medway" and was towed to No. 2 Dock for completion.[5]

C 17 was badly damaged in a collision with C 16 at 11.45pm on 14 July 1909, after S.S. Eddystone ran headlong into a group of submarines and destroyers gathered around H.M.S. Bonaventure, ramming and sinking C 11.[6]

In the Test Mobilization, she was one of seven "C" class boats comprising the Fourth Submarine Flotilla. She remained with 4 S.F. in Home and Atlantic Waters until joining Fifth Submarine Flotilla of the Dover Patrol around August or September, 1916. In 1918, she operated with the Sixth Submarine Flotilla
