Commanders
1915: Lieutenant  D W Fell  

Adriatic Squadron. Venice.

This Submarine was one of a Group of ten H Class submarines ordered in the Emergency War Programme of November 1914 and built (using American supplied components) at the Canadian Vickers Yard at Montreal. Of these Submarines H1 to H4 were commissioned in late May 1915 at Quebec City and then made their way to the Mediterranean escorted by the Armed Merchant Cruiser HMS Calgarian.

Sailed in company with H1, H3 and H4 from St. John's, Newfoundland to Gibraltar with the AMC Calgarian. Each boat was towed for one day to allow maintenance to be carried out.

In the absence of HMS Adamant H2 was appointed as the nominal depot ship at Venice and Lt. Fell was appointed Senior British Naval Officer instead of the Commanding Officer of HMS Adamant which at the time was Commander Charles G Brodie.
