HMS K12 was a K class submarine built by Armstrong Whitworth, Newcastle upon Tyne. She was laid down in October 1915 and commissioned in August 1917.

K12 took part in the Battle of May Island, surviving the disastrous exercise. K12 collided with Шаблон:HMS in 1924; K2 smashed a hole in the forward casing of K12 while K2 buckled her bows for about six feet. K12 was scrapped in 1926 in Charlestown.

Design

K12 displaced Шаблон:Convert when at the surface and Шаблон:Convert while submerged.[1] It had a total length of Шаблон:Convert, a beam of Шаблон:Convert, and a draught of Шаблон:Convert.[2] The submarine was powered by two oil-fired Yarrow Shipbuilders boilers supplying one geared Brown-Curtis or Parsons steam turbine; this developed 10,500 ship horsepower (7,800 kW) to drive two Шаблон:Convert screws. Submerged power came from four electric motors each producing Шаблон:Convert.[2] It was also had an Шаблон:Convert diesel engine to be used when steam was being raised, or instead of raising steam.[3]

The submarine had a maximum surface speed of Шаблон:Convert and a submerged speed of Шаблон:Convert.[2][4] It could operate at depths of Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert for Шаблон:Convert.[1] K9 was armed with ten Шаблон:Convert torpedo tubes, two Шаблон:Convert deck guns, and a Шаблон:Convert anti-aircraft gun.[2] Its torpedo tubes were fitted to the bows, the midship section, and two were mounted on the deck.[1] Its complement was fifty-nine crew members.[4]
