Design
K14 displaced Шаблон:Convert when at the surface and Шаблон:Convert while submerged.[1] It had a total length of Шаблон:Convert, a beam of Шаблон:Convert, and a draught of Шаблон:Convert.[2] The submarine was powered by two oil-fired Yarrow Shipbuilders boilers each supplying one geared Brown-Curtis or Parsons steam turbine; this developed 10,500 ship horsepower (7,800 kW) to drive two Шаблон:Convert screws. Submerged power came from four electric motors each producing Шаблон:Convert.[2] It was also had an Шаблон:Convert diesel engine to be used when steam was being raised, or instead of raising steam.[3]
The submarine had a maximum surface speed of Шаблон:Convert and a submerged speed of Шаблон:Convert.[2][4] It could operate at depths of Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert for Шаблон:Convert.[1] K14 was armed with ten Шаблон:Convert torpedo tubes, two Шаблон:Convert deck guns, and a Шаблон:Convert anti-aircraft gun.[2] The torpedo tubes were mounted in the bows, the midship section firing to the beam, and two were on a rotating mounting on the deck.[1] Its complement was fifty-nine crew members.[4]
