    Submarine,  Thames" Class
    An ocean-going type of submarine, the three
    ships of the Thames class are the fastest
    submarines afloat, the Thames being the
    first Diesel-driven submarine to travel at a
    speed of over 21 knots. Their 10,000 h.p.
    Diesel engines, with electric motors for
    under-water service, give speeds on surface
    and below of 22-5 knots and 10 knots
    respectively. Their complement is 60 officers
    and men, They carry one 4-inch gun and
    two machine guns, with six tubes for 21-inch
    torpedoes. The tonnage of the Severn is
    1,850 on surface and 2,710 when submerged.
    This vessel, which cost just over Sterling 500,000,
    was launched in 193+ and completed in the
    following year. These ships are our largest
    submarines since the scrapping of the experi-
    mental M and  X  types, the former
    of which mounted one 12-inch gun.
