Description
The G-class submarines were designed by the Admiralty in response to a rumour that the Germans were building double-hulled submarines for overseas duties. The submarines had a length of Шаблон:Convert overall, a beam of Шаблон:Convert and a mean draft of Шаблон:Convert. They displaced Шаблон:Convert on the surface and Шаблон:Convert submerged. The G-class submarines had a crew of 30 officers and ratings. They had a partial double hull.[1]
For surface running, the boats were powered by two Шаблон:Convert Vickers two-stroke diesel engines, 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 G class had a range of Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert.[1]
The boats were intended to be armed with one 21-inch (53.3 cm) torpedo tube in the bow and two 18-inch (45 cm) torpedo tubes on the beam. This was revised, however, while they were under construction, the 21-inch tube was moved to the stern and two additional 18-inch tubes were added in the bow. They carried two 21-inch and eight 18-inch torpedoes. The G-class submarines were also armed with a single Шаблон:Convert deck gun.[1]
Career
Like the rest of her class, G7Шаблон:'s role was to patrol an area of the North Sea in search of German U-boats. On 15 April 1917, G7 was patrolling between Lerwick and Bergen when she sighted the German submarine Шаблон:Ship. G7 fired a torpedo at U-30 and after an exchange of gunfire the German submarine dived away. Although U-30 escaped unscathed, G7 had interrupted U30Шаблон:'s attempts to sink two Norwegian merchant ships. One, Шаблон:Ship, which still had a boarding party from U-30 aboard, returned to Bergen under her own steam, while the second, the Borgila, had been abandoned by her crew. G7 put a salvage party aboard Borgila until the Norwegian destroyer Шаблон:Ship arrived to take over.[2]
In October 1918 G7 was on patrol in the North Sea. Communications were lost on 23 October and she was declared lost on 1 November.
