The Capitan O'Brien class were three submarines built for the Chilean Navy in the late 1920s. Designed and built in the United Kingdom, they were a modified design of the contemporary British Шаблон:Sclasss. The lead boat, Шаблон:Ship, was launched on 2 October 1928 and the other two on 15 January 1929. All three submarines entered service in 1929. The three vessels remained in service until being discarded in 1957–1958.

Background and design

The Capitan O'Brien class were three submarines constructed to a modified design based on the British Royal Navy's Шаблон:Sclass.Шаблон:Sfn The Odin class was the Royal Navy's leading submarine design in the post-World War I era, equipped with strengthened pressure hulls and fuel carried in the ballast tanks to improve rapid diving. They had extended surface range.Шаблон:Sfn The Capitan O'Briens measured Шаблон:Convert long between perpendiculars with a beam of Шаблон:Cvt and a draught of Шаблон:Cvt. They had a displacement of Шаблон:Convert while surfaced and Шаблон:Cvt submerged.Шаблон:Sfn The submarines were propelled by two shafts powered by two Vickers diesel engines creating Шаблон:Convert while surfaced and two electric motors creating Шаблон:Cvt while submerged. This gave them a maximum speed of Шаблон:Convert surfaced and Шаблон:Convert submerged.Шаблон:Sfn The builder's photograph of Capitan Simpson gives the dimensions as Шаблон:Convert long overall with a beam of Шаблон:Convert and a draught of Шаблон:Convert with a surface speed of 15 knots and Шаблон:Convert submerged.Шаблон:Sfn

The Capitan O'Briens had a large conning tower that stretched one-third of the deck and mounted the [[4.7-inch QF Mark IX & XII|Шаблон:Convert]]/45 deck gun in a turret. The submarines were also armed with eight [[British 21-inch torpedo|Шаблон:Cvt]] torpedo tubes, with six located in the bow and two in the stern. The subs carried 14 torpedoes. Each submarine had a complement of 54 personnel.Шаблон:Sfn
