Шаблон:Infobox ship imageШаблон:Infobox ship careerШаблон:Infobox ship characteristicsHMS E52 was a British E-class submarine built by William Denny and Brothers, Dumbarton, entering service in 1917. She sank the U-boat Шаблон:Ship near the Goodwin Sands on 1 November 1917. E52 was sold in 1921 and later hulked on the River Dart.
Design
Like all post-E8 British E-class submarines, E52 had a displacement of Шаблон:Convert at the surface and Шаблон:Convert while submerged. She had a total length of Шаблон:Convert[1] and a beam of Шаблон:Convert. She was powered by two Шаблон:Convert Ruston & Proctor eight-cylinder two-stroke diesel engines and two Шаблон:Convert electric motors.[2][3][4] The submarine had a maximum surface speed of Шаблон:Convert and a submerged speed of Шаблон:Convert. British E-class submarines had fuel capacities of Шаблон:Convert of diesel and ranges of Шаблон:Convert when travelling at Шаблон:Convert.[1] E52 was capable of operating submerged for five hours when travelling at Шаблон:Convert.
E52 was armed with a [[QF 12-pounder 12 cwt naval gun|12-pounder Шаблон:Convert]] QF gun mounted forward of the conning tower. She had five 18 inch (450 mm) torpedo tubes, two in the bow, one either side amidships, and one in the stern; a total of 10 torpedoes were carried.[2]
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.[1]
Construction
E52 was ordered from Yarrow Shipbuilders, Scotstoun but transferred on 3 March 1915 to William Denny and Brothers, Dumbarton as Yard No.1048.[5][4] She was launched on 25 January 1917 and delivered on 13 March.[5][4]
Service
On 31 October 1917, E52 left her depot ship Шаблон:HMS to patrol in the English Channel.[6] Just after midnight she surprised the German U-boat Шаблон:Ship on the surface near the Goodwin Sands, in the southern North Sea, returning to Zeebrugge after laying mines. E52 attacked UC-63 in Шаблон:Coord, with torpedoes, and the German submarine sank with the loss of all-but-one of her 27 crew.[6][7] As a result of this encounter, Lt. Cdr. Philip Esmonde Phillips of E52 was awarded the Distinguished Service Order for "services in action with enemy submarines".[8]
Fate
E52 was sold on 3 January 1921 to Brixham Marine & Engineering Company.[5] The submarine was stripped and taken to the River Dart and lay on the shore with other vessels, below the Britannia Royal Naval College.[6] They were believed to have been utilised to strengthen a bank in Coombe Mud, and then buried in the land reclamation to create Coronation Park.[6][8] A team from the University of Winchester is investigating the site in April 2023, using ground-penetrating radar.[9] In June 2023, it was announced that the team had found remains of what they believed was E52 and the German torpedo boat Шаблон:SMS.[10][11]
