The Chilean submarine Tegualda was an H-class submarine of the Chilean Navy. The vessel was originally ordered by the United Kingdom's Royal Navy as HMS H16, but was handed over to Chile in 1917 as H2.

Description

Tegualda was a single-hulled submarine, with a pressure hull divided into five watertight compartments. The submarine had a length of Шаблон:Convert overall, a beam of Шаблон:Convert and a draft of Шаблон:Convert. She displaced Шаблон:Convert on the surface and Шаблон:Convert submerged. The H-class submarines had a crew of 22 officers and enlisted men.[1]

The submarine had two propellers, each of which was driven by a Шаблон:Convert diesel engine as well as a Шаблон:Convert electric motors. This arrangement gave Tegualda a maximum speed of Шаблон:Convert while surfaced and Шаблон:Convert submerged. She had a range of Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert while on the surface and Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert while submerged. The boat had a capacity of Шаблон:Convert of fuel oil. The H-class submarines were equipped with four Шаблон:Convert torpedo tubes in the bow and carried eight torpedoes.[1]

Career

H16 was a H-class submarine built by Fore River Yard of Quincy, Massachusetts. She was launched on 26 July 1915. Because the United States was neutral (having not yet entered World War I), H16 along with sister ships Шаблон:HMS, Шаблон:HMS, Шаблон:HMS, Шаблон:HMS, Шаблон:HMS, Шаблон:HMS, Шаблон:HMS, Шаблон:HMS, and Шаблон:HMS were all interned by the United States government. As a result, H16 was never commissioned into the Royal Navy. Instead, she and H13, H17, H18, H19, and H20 were transferred to the Chilean Navy as partial recompensation for the appropriation of two 28,000-ton dreadnoughts (Шаблон:Ship and Шаблон:Ship). Originally named H2 when turned over to Chile in 1917, she was renamed Tegualda in 1924. She served with the Chilean Navy until she was stricken in 1945.
