HMS E16 was an E-class submarine built by Vickers, Barrow-in-Furness for the Royal Navy. She was laid down on 15 May 1913 and was commissioned on 27 February 1915. Her hull cost £105,700. E16 was the first E-class to sink a U-boat, Script error: No such module "WPSHIPS utilities".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters"., sunk Script error: No such module "convert". south-west of Karmøy island off Stavanger, Norway on 15 September 1915. E16 was sunk by a mine in Heligoland Bight on 22 August 1916. There were no survivors.[1]
Design
Like all post-E8 British E-class submarines, E16 had a displacement of Script error: No such module "convert". at the surface and Script error: No such module "convert". while submerged. She had a total length of Script error: No such module "convert".[2] and a beam of Script error: No such module "convert".. She was powered by two Script error: No such module "convert". Vickers eight-cylinder two-stroke diesel engines and two Script error: No such module "convert". electric motors.[3][4] The submarine had a maximum surface speed of Script error: No such module "convert". and a submerged speed of Script error: No such module "convert".. British E-class submarines had fuel capacities of Script error: No such module "convert". of diesel and ranges of Script error: No such module "convert". when travelling at Script error: No such module "convert"..[2] E16 was capable of operating submerged for five hours when travelling at Script error: No such module "convert"..
As with most of the early E class boats, E16 was not fitted with a deck gun during construction but may have had one fitted later, forward of the conning tower. She had five 18 inch (450 mm) torpedo tubes, two in the bow, one either side amidships, and one in the stern; a total of 10 torpedoes were carried.[3]
E-Class submarines had wireless systems with Script error: No such module "convert". power ratings; in some submarines, these were later upgraded to Script error: No such module "convert". systems by removing a midship torpedo tube. Their maximum design depth was Script error: No such module "convert". although in service some reached depths of below Script error: No such module "convert".. Some submarines contained Fessenden oscillator systems.[2]
Crew
Her complement was three officers and 28 men.[2]
