H.M.S."SEVERN"
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.
