HMS E1 (laid down as HMS D9) was a British E-class submarine that was built by Chatham Dockyard and cost £101,700. E1 was laid down on 14 February 1911. She was launched on 9 November 1912 and was commissioned on 6 May 1913. During World War I she was part of the British submarine flotilla in the Baltic.

Design

The early British E-class submarines, from E1 to E8, had a displacement of Шаблон:Convert at the surface and Шаблон:Convert while submerged. They had a length overall of Шаблон:Convert and a beam of Шаблон:Convert, and were powered by two Шаблон:Convert Vickers eight-cylinder two-stroke diesel engines and two Шаблон:Convert electric motors.[1][2] The class had a maximum surface speed of Шаблон:Convert and a submerged speed of Шаблон:Convert, with a fuel capacity of Шаблон:Convert of diesel affording a range of Шаблон:Convert when travelling at Шаблон:Convert, while submerged they had a range of Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert.[1]

The early 'Group 1' E class boats were armed with four 18 inch (450 mm) torpedo tubes, one in the bow, one either side amidships, and one in the stern; a total of eight torpedoes were carried. Group 1 boats were not fitted with a deck gun during construction, but those involved in the Dardanelles campaign had guns mounted forward of the conning tower while at Malta Dockyard.[1]

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.[3]

Crew

Her complement was three officers and 28 men.[3]

Service history

E1 joined the 8th Submarine Flotilla, based at Portsmouth on commissioning.[4]

She worked with Шаблон:HMS and reconnoitered the Skagerrak in early October as a prelude to sending submarines into the Baltic.[5] Then on 15 October 1914, she and Шаблон:HMS sailed from Gorleston in a successful attempt to penetrate the German defences and enter the Baltic. On 18 October 1914, E1 unsuccessfully attacked the armoured cruiser Шаблон:SMS in Kiel Bay. The torpedo ran too deep and missed.[6] On 22 July 1915, E1 fired two torpedoes at the German Vorpostenboot (or patrol boat) Neumühlen, which missed.[7] On 30 July 1915, she torpedoed and sank the German auxilary minesweeper Aachen east-northeast of Östergarn, Gotland, Sweden.[8] On 19 August 1915, she torpedoed and damaged the German battlecruiser Шаблон:SMS (23,000 tons) during the Battle of the Gulf of Riga.

E1Шаблон:'s service ended on 3 April 1918 outside Helsingfors (now Helsinki), Шаблон:Convert off Harmaja Light in the Gulf of Finland. She was scuttled by her crew, along with Шаблон:HMS, Шаблон:HMS, Шаблон:HMS, Шаблон:HMS, Шаблон:HMS, and Шаблон:HMS to avoid seizure by advancing German forces which had landed nearby.
