H.M.S. G 5 was one of fourteen "G" class submarines completed in Britain during the Great War, intended primarily to hunt German U-boats.

Service

By late 1920, she was one of six "G" class submarines in reserve at Portsmouth as the "L" group under the collective command of Lieutenant Humphrey G. Veale, tender to Dolphin.[7]

Captains

Dates of appointment are provided when known.

Venning's data seems a bit off. Donne's also seems odd, but he is mentioned as "vice Attwood", and the latter man's Service Record is quite clear.
