Script error: No such module "Infobox".Template:Template otherTemplate:Infobox ship/subboxTemplate:Infobox ship/subboxTemplate:Infobox ship/subboxTemplate:Infobox ship/subboxHMS A2 was an Script error: No such module "WPSHIPS utilities". submarine built for the Royal Navy in the first decade of the 20th century.
Design and description
A2 was a member of the first British class of submarines, although slightly larger, faster and more heavily armed than the lead ship, Script error: No such module "WPSHIPS utilities".. The submarine had a length of Script error: No such module "convert". overall, a beam of Script error: No such module "convert". and a mean draft of Script error: No such module "convert".. They displaced Script error: No such module "convert". on the surface and Script error: No such module "convert". submerged. The A-class submarines had a crew of 2 officers and 9 ratings.[1]
For surface running, the boats were powered by a single 16-cylinder Script error: No such module "convert". Wolseley petrol engine that drove one propeller shaft. When submerged the propeller was driven by a Script error: No such module "convert". electric motor. They could reach Script error: No such module "convert". on the surface and Script error: No such module "convert". underwater. On the surface, A2 had a range of Script error: No such module "convert". at Script error: No such module "convert".;[1] submerged the boat had a range of Script error: No such module "convert". at Script error: No such module "convert"..[2]
The boats were armed with two 18-inch (45 cm) torpedo tubes in the bow. They could carry a pair of reload torpedoes, but generally did not as in doing so they had to compensate for their weight by an equivalent weight of fuel.[3]
Construction and career
Like all boats in her class, she was built at Vickers, Barrow-in-Furness.[1] Construction started in 1902 and the submarine was launched on 15 April 1903 and completed on 26 March 1904.[4] During World War I, A2 served on harbour service at Portsmouth.[5] She flooded after running aground in Bomb Ketch Lake in Portsmouth Harbour in January 1920 and was sold for scrap to H. G. Pound of Portsmouth on 22 October 1925.
