Design

Like all post-H20 British H-class submarines, H47 had a displacement of Script error: No such module "convert". at the surface and Script error: No such module "convert". while submerged.[1] It had a total length of Script error: No such module "convert".,[2] a beam of Script error: No such module "convert"., and a draught of Script error: No such module "convert"..[3] It contained a diesel engines providing a total power of Script error: No such module "convert". and two electric motors each providing Script error: No such module "convert". power.[3] The use of its electric motors made the submarine travel at Script error: No such module "convert".. It would normally carry Script error: No such module "convert". of fuel and had a maximum capacity of Script error: No such module "convert"..[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".. Post-H20 British H-class submarines had ranges of Script error: No such module "convert". at speeds of Script error: No such module "convert". when surfaced.[1][3] H47 was fitted with an anti-aircraft gun and four Script error: No such module "convert". torpedo tubes. Its torpedo tubes were fitted to the bows and the submarine was loaded with eight Script error: No such module "convert". torpedoes.[1] It is a Holland 602 type submarine but was designed to meet Royal Navy specifications.
