HMS H8 was a British H-class submarine built by the Canadian Vickers Co., Montreal. She was laid down on 19 May 1915 and commissioned in June 1915.

Like all pre-H11 British H-class submarines, H8 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"., a beam of Script error: No such module "convert"., and a draught of Script error: No such module "convert"..[2] 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.[2] 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"..[3]
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 H-class submarines had ranges of Script error: No such module "convert". at speeds of Script error: No such module "convert"..[1] H8 was fitted with a Script error: No such module "convert". Hotchkiss quick-firing gun (6-pounder) and four Script error: No such module "convert". torpedo tubes.
