HMS D2 was one of eight D-class submarine built for the Royal Navy during the first decade of the 20th century.
Description
The D-class submarines were designed as improved and enlarged versions of the preceding C class, with diesel engines replacing the dangerous petrol engines used earlier. D2 was slightly smaller than her sister ships and had a length of Шаблон:Convert overall, a beam of Шаблон:Convert and a mean draught of Шаблон:Convert. She displaced Шаблон:Convert on the surface and Шаблон:Convert submerged.[1] The D-class submarines had a crew of 25 officers and ratings and were the first to adopt saddle tanks.[2]
For surface running, the boats were powered by two Шаблон:Convert diesels, each driving one propeller shaft. When submerged each propeller was driven by a Шаблон:Convert electric motor. They could reach Шаблон:Convert on the surface and Шаблон:Convert underwater. On the surface, the D class had a range of Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert.[2]
The boats were armed with three 18-inch (45 cm) torpedo tubes, two in the bow and one in the stern. They carried one reload for each tube, a total of six torpedoes.[2]
Construction and career
D2 was laid down by Vickers on 10 July 1909 at their Barrow shipyard and commissioned on 29 March 1911. During her career, D2 returned from the second Heligoland Bight patrol along with Шаблон:HMS, Шаблон:HMS and Шаблон:HMS. On 28 August 1914, D2, D3 and Шаблон:HMS fought in the Battle of Heligoland Bight. Then, two days before D2 met her fate, Lieutenant Commander Jameson was washed overboard off Harwich. Lt. Cdr. Head was his replacement. D2 was rammed and sunk by a German patrol boat off Borkum on 25 November 1914, leaving no survivors.
