HMS E40 was a British E-class submarine launched by Palmer, Jarrow in 1916 and was completed by Armstrong Whitworth, Newcastle upon Tyne. She was launched on 9 November 1916 and was commissioned in May 1917.

The shell that embedded itself in the conning tower of HMS E40 causing the submarine to dive to 330 feet.

During her World War I service while patrolling Scandinavian waters E40 encountered a U-boat. As the submarine dived the captain was hit with shrapnel and had to be dragged in; the hatch stuck and the vessel took on water, going straight to the bottom. After an hour the air was poor; with the captain unconscious, the first lieutenant asked the crew if he could use the remaining oxygen to try to raise the submarine. This succeeded and the E40 managed to get back to Middlesbrough where it had been posted missing, presumed sunk. The captain survived.Шаблон:Citation needed HMS E40 was sold on 14 December 1921.[1]

Design

Like all post-E8 British E-class submarines, E40 had a displacement of Шаблон:Convert at the surface and Шаблон:Convert while submerged. She had a total length of Шаблон:Convert[2] and a beam of Шаблон:Convert. She was powered by two Шаблон:Convert Vickers eight-cylinder two-stroke diesel engines and two Шаблон:Convert electric motors.[3][4] The submarine had a maximum surface speed of Шаблон:Convert and a submerged speed of Шаблон:Convert. British E-class submarines had fuel capacities of Шаблон:Convert of diesel and ranges of Шаблон:Convert when travelling at Шаблон:Convert.[2] E40 was capable of operating submerged for five hours when travelling at Шаблон:Convert.

E40 was armed with a [[QF 12-pounder 12 cwt naval gun|12-pounder Шаблон:Convert]] QF gun mounted forward of the conning tower. She had five 18 inch (450 mm) torpedo tubes, two in the bow, one either side amidships, and one in the stern; a total of 10 torpedoes were carried.[3]

E-class submarines had wireless systems with Шаблон:Convert power ratings; in some submarines, these were later upgraded to Шаблон:Convert systems by removing a midship torpedo tube. Their maximum design depth was Шаблон:Convert although in service some reached depths of below Шаблон:Convert. Some submarines contained Fessenden oscillator systems.[2]

Crew

Her complement was three officers and 28 men.[2]
