Revision as of 13:02, 7 April 2018

The Royal Navy's "H" Class Submarines were manufactured in Britain, America and Canada to a design similar to the American "H" class boats. They were considered coastal submarines.[1]

Characteristics[2]
  Groups 1 & 2 Group 3
Length (feet) 150 164
Breadth (feet) 15.25 ditto
Displacement (tons) 364/434 440/500
Draft 12-ft 4-in ditto
Speed (knots) 13/11 ditto

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.[3]

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
