The submarine immediately began to take in large amounts of water and began sinking by the stern. The collision took place within sight of land from where help soon arrived and although the submarine sank within ten minutes, there were no casualties. This was the seventh occasion on which a British submarine had been sunk in an accident, but the first on which there was no loss of life. HMS C14 was later salvaged and returned to active service. |
