British C-class Submarine
The British C-class submarines were the last class of petrol engined submarines of the Royal Navy and marked the end of the development of the in the Royal Navy. Thirty-eight were constructed between 1905 and 1910 and they served through World War I. With limited endurance and only a ten percent reserve of buoyancy over their surface displacement, they were poor surface vessels, but their spindle shaped hull made for good underwater performance compared to their contemporaries. Service history Three (''C36'', ''C37'' and ''C38'') had been sent to Hong Kong in 1911 and during the war the remainder were mainly used for coastal defence, based at the east coast ports of Leith, Harwich, Hartlepool, Grimsby and Dover, some operating with Q-ships which were decoying U-boats. The technique was for a trawler to tow the submarine and communicate with it by telephone. When a U-boat surfaced to attack the trawler with its deck gun, the British submarine would slip its tow and attempt to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
United States C-class Submarine
The C-class submarines were five United States Navy submarines built by the Fore River Shipbuilding Company in Quincy, Massachusetts, under a subcontract from the Electric Boat Company. Built between 1906 and 1909, and in commission from 1908 to 1919, all five were subsequently sold for scrap in 1920. They were considerably larger than the preceding B class at 275 tons submerged vs. 173 tons submerged, and were the first United States submarines with two-shaft propulsion, doubling the machinery of the B class. Design These vessels included some features intended to increase underwater speed that were standard on United States submarines of this era, including a small sail and a rotating cap over the torpedo tube muzzles. For extended surface runs, the small sail was augmented with a temporary piping-and-canvas structure. Apparently, the "crash dive" concept had not yet been developed, as this would take considerable time to deploy and dismantle. This configuration remained stan ...

Type C Submarine
The was one of the first classes of submarine in the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) to serve during the Second World War. ''Type-C'' submarines were better armed than the ''Type-A'' and ''Type-B''. The ''Type-C''s were also utilized as '' Kō-hyōteki'' or ''Kaiten were crewed torpedoes and suicide craft, used by the Imperial Japanese Navy in the final stages of World War II. History In recognition of the unfavorable progress of the war, towards the end of 1943 the Japanese high command considered s ...'' mother ships, for this reason they were not equipped with aviation facilities. Class variants The ''Type-C'' submarines were divided into three classes: * * * . However, the ''Vessel number 379''-class was never built. ''Type-C'' (''I-16'' class) Project number S38 and S38B (Latter batch). They were based on the ''I-7'' class. Eight boats were built between 1937 and 1944 under the Maru 3 Programme (Boats 44 - 48) and the Maru Kyū Programme (Boats 376 - 378) ...

I-52-class Submarine
The , also called were operated by the Imperial Japanese Navy, designed and built by Mitsubishi Corporation, between 1943 and 1944, as cargo carriers. The Japanese constructed only three of these during World War II, although twenty were planned. * was laid down on 18 March 1942, and she was commissioned on 28 December 1943 into the 11th Submarine Squadron. After training in Japan she was selected for a ''Yanagi'' (exchange) mission to Germany. She was sunk on 24 June 1944 by aircraft from southwest of the Azores. Her cargo consisted of rubber, gold, quinine, and Japanese engineers to Germany. * survived the war, but she was scuttled by the US Navy off the Gotō Islands in 1946. * was sunk after three months in commission by destroyer and destroyer escort off Saipan on 14 July 1944. See also *Cruiser submarine A cruiser submarine was a very large submarine designed to remain at sea for extended periods in areas distant from base facilities. Their role was analogous to ...

Ha-1-class Submarine
The was an early class of submarines of the Imperial Japanese Navy, and were essentially British C-class submarines, which had been imported for evaluation and reverse engineering. Background Following its experiment during and after the Russo-Japanese War with modified versions of the ''Holland''-class vessels designed in the United States, the Imperial Japanese Navy turned to the United Kingdom, which had continued development of the Holland design with 13 vessels in its , 11 vessels in its B class and 38 vessels in its C class. The Japanese government contracted Vickers at Barrow-in-Furness for two vessels, which were laid down just after towards the end of the C-class production run for the Royal Navy. The completed vessels were shipped to Japan on a specially modified cargo vessel. With limited endurance and only a ten percent reserve of buoyancy over their surface displacement, The ''Ha-1'' class were poor surface vessels, but their spindle shaped hull made for good un ...

Ha-3-class Submarine
The was an early class of submarines of the Imperial Japanese Navy. Background Along with placing orders with Vickers at Barrow-in-Furness in the UK for two British C-class submarines, which were commissioned into the Imperial Japanese Navy as the , the Japanese government ordered another three vessels, which were received as knock-down kits. These kits were assembled at the Kure Naval Arsenal. Design Physically almost identical to the ''Ha-1'' class, the three vessels assembled in Japan incorporated a number of improvements, including extended bow for improved seaworthiness, improved rudder for surface handling, and an increase in the size of the bridge and conning tower A conning tower is a raised platform on a ship or submarine, often armored, from which an officer in charge can conn the vessel, controlling movements of the ship by giving orders to those responsible for the ship's engine, rudder, lines, and gro ....
