| Fate: | Scrapped June 1922. |
First British submarine to be named. Served with the 6th Flotilla at Portsmouth but was used more as a depot ship. In 1918 became a battery charging vessel and was never operational.
Nautilus was a bold experiment - with an increase in surface displacement and a change from the saddle tank type of construction to a double-hull. She was a twin shaft vessel with two Vickers diesel engines, each of 1850 hp, two main motors of 500 bhp and 352 Exide cells in two battery tanks.

Submarines are a key component of modern naval warfare, providing countries with the ability to make missile strikes against their enemies from anywhere in the world.
Organized by type, Modern Submarines offers a compact guide to the major submarines deployed in the world today. Find out about the nuclear-powered Virginia class, the US Navy’s premier fast attack submarine, with its stealth capabilities; discover the Chinese navy’s Type 039 diesel-electric submarine, designed for a blue-water defensive role; and learn about the venerable Russian Delta IV class, a type dating from the 1980s and which is able to deploy uncrewed underwater vehicles (UUVs).
Illustrated with more than 100 vivid artworks, Modern Submarines is an essential reference guide for modellers and naval warfare enthusiasts.
