The Anti-Submarine Committee, also known simply as Submarine Committee, was an ad hoc body of the Royal Navy formed in 1910 for dealing with anti-submarine warfare proposals.

History

The committee was appointed in March, 1910, and issued its first report in April of that year. It initially comprised a Flag Officer, a Captain, a Commander, and a Secretary.[1] Up to the outbreak of war in August, 1914, the committee reported at least fifty-five times.[2]
