	Submarine History 1914-1945: A Timeline of Development
		The British discovered that torpedoes were routinely running under their targets; they finally realized that the explosive warhead weighed forty pounds more than the peacetime practice head upon which torpedo depth settings had been based.
		Boats of the UA class were 230 feet long, about 1500 tons with a speed of 15.3 knots on the surface, and a range of 12,630 miles at 8 knots.
		The British developed an on-board escape system, whereby sailors waiting their turn to go out through a pressure-modulated airlock (and chest-deep in water) would be able to breath through individual oxygen masks, permanently stored in the fore and aft torpedo rooms.

	British S class submarine (1931) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The S-class submarines of the Royal Navy were originally designed and built during the modernisation of the submarine force in the early 1930s to meet the need for smaller boats to patrol the restricted waters of the North Sea and the Mediterranean Sea replacing the H class submarines.
		Due to major naval construction of the Royal Navy during the Second World War, however, the S class became the largest single group of submarines ever built for the Royal Navy; a total of 62 were constructed over a period of 15 years, with fifty of the "improved" S-class launched between 1940 and 1945.
		After the war S class boats continued to serve in the Royal Navy until the 1960s.

		The submarine Seal was captured in early 1940 and renamed UB by the Germans.
		The A class submarines developed from the T boats and were designed for operations against Japan, but arrived too late for use in the war.
		The S class was the new medium sized patrol submarine, designed with the proposed international restriction of 600 tons displacement in mind.

	(1925 - 1946) Overseas Patrol
		With this class it appears that the Admiralty finally decided that the submarine deserved the dignity of a name; thus, the pioneer of the class was called Oberon.
		The range of sea-water density in which submarines of the period were designed to dive was quite limited, and it wasn't until late in the building of the Odin Class that a requirement to be able to dive in fresh water was introduced - resulting in changes to the compensating water tanks.
		Submarine officers do not visualise any intentional diving to such depths as 500 feet though the ability to do so is an asset in the event of an involuntary deep dive which might cause the submarine to go much deeper than ever was intended'.

	Submarine USS V-2 (SF-5) /
		The submarine arrived at the City of Brotherly Love on 18 February 1937, where she went out of commission in reserve on 9 June 1937...then was placed in the Reserve Fleet for possible future use.
		Actually, the submarine was scuttled (sunk) in 155 feet of water eight miles south of Block Island, Rhode Island, in the Atlantic Ocean, for use as a sonar target.
		The submarine was heavy forward, and, this, in conjunction with the odd shape of the pressure hull, caused the bow to burrow into waves instead of riding over them.

		The K Class had a calamitous existence with three of the original class going down in Scottish waters due to accidents with great loss of life.
		The whole class of seventeen were ordered from a variety of shipbuilders, and built in great secrecy before the first of class trials were carried out.
		These submersible "destroyers" were the largest, heaviest and fastest submarines in the world at that time; in fact they proved to be so fast, that no British WWII submarine could have outstripped them.

		Submariners who had high hopes for USS Bonita were disappointed by the boat's poor operational performance.
		The submarine force soon came to view this boat as a white elephant and most operators were not sorry to see USS Bonita placed out of commission in 1937.

		While the British were having their problems, across the Atlantic the American Navy had shifted its interest from submarine aircraft to small scouting aircraft carried aboard the airships USS Akron and Macon.
		One example was when submarine I 36 launched her aircraft from 300 miles off the Hawaiian Islands and, although the pilot was able to radio back shipping information, it is presumed that he crashed into the sea and was lost.
		While the I 400 class submarines were under construction, plans were made to use the submarines and their aircraft for a raid on the Panama Canal.

	Royal Australian Navy Gun Plot - HMA Submarines
		Above HMA Submarine J2 In 1923 there was vigorous debate on the subject of whether Britain should build replacement submarines for the "J" Class or build them in Australia.
		Unfortunately, Australia's third attempt at maintaining a submarine service was terminated when armament limitations and the deepening economic depression forced the paying off of both boats at the end of 1929.
		On the fifth attempt at establishing and Australian submarine arm the decision was taken to acquire a new force of four Oberon Class submarines to be built at Scotts on the Clyde.

	The Submarine Heritage of Simon Lake (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Although some authorities have questioned the claims of Lake's proponents for his invention of the periscope, the double-hulled submarine, and the diver's lock-in/lock-out chamber, he was a genuine innovator in the field of undersea technology, and his Lake Torpedo Boat Company built a total of 33 submarines for the U.S. Navy between 1909 and 1922.
		Thus, his submarine was intended to operate largely in the mid-water region using porpoise-like diving and surfacing maneuvers, while Lake's vehicle was essentially optimized to run on the bottom.
		He devised a concept for rail-transported coastal defense submarines and proposed the use of large, undersea freighters as an alternative to the Atlantic convoy system that was suffering huge losses to German U-boats early in the war.
