G9
Built By: | Vickers (Barrow) |
Build Group: | G |
Fate: | Submarine G9 was on patrol in the North Sea on 16th September 1917 having left her base on the Tees on 9th September. The Submarine was in position between 60 degrees 30 minutes North and 61 degrees 30 minutes North. G9 apparently fired a torpedo at the ‘M’ Class Destroyer HMS Pasley believing the Destroyer to be a German U-Boat. The torpedo did not explode and HMS Pasley rammed the submarine, which sank. There was one survivor, Stoker William Alfred Drake. The remainder of the crew of G9 was lost. |
