British L class submarine

Encyclopedia : B : BR : BRI : British L class submarine

The L class submarines were a class of 27 British diesel-electric submarines built for the Royal Navy during World War I. They were larger versions of the successful E class and some survived to serve in the Second World War.

They were built in three groups, with slightly different armament in each group. They carried about 20 tons of their diesel fuel in external tanks, the first Royal Navy submarines to do so.
