H.M.S. L 53 was one of thirty-five "L" class submarines completed for the Royal Navy.

Service

L 53 was commissioned on 10 December, 1924. In 1925, she was part of Second Submarine Flotilla in the Mediterranean.[6]

2 S.F., then numbering five "L" class submarines, left Malta for England on 26 October, 1926. The formation was expected back in Devonport on 7 November and the boats would fall under command of Rear-Admiral (S).[7]

2 S.F. apparently returned to the Mediterranean, however, remaining there until at least early 1929.[8]

By mid-1931, she had been transferred to the Fifth Submarine Flotilla.[9]
