The C-class boats of the 1907–08 and subsequent Naval Programmes were modified to improve their speed, both above and below the surface. 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 C-class submarines had a crew of two officers and fourteen ratings.[1]
For surface running, the boats were powered by a single 12-cylinder[2] Script error: No such module "convert". Vickers petrol engine that drove one propeller shaft. When submerged the propeller was driven by a Script error: No such module "convert". electric motor.[1] They could reach Script error: No such module "convert". on the surface and Script error: No such module "convert". underwater. On the surface, the C class had a range of Script error: No such module "convert". at Script error: No such module "convert"..[3]
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 they would have to remove an equal weight of fuel in compensation.[4]
