| Fate: | Sold to the Breakers November 1927 and then sold on to a film company. Disguised as a U-Boat for the movie 'The Q-Ships' and sunk of Eddystone Lighthouse by gunfire in January 1928 |
During an exercise, H52 had a lucky escape after being hit by a surface ship while running submerged. Extensive damage was done to her bridge and conning tower and her main periscope was bent.
Possibly as a result of this damage, she was sold to a film company and disguised a a U-Boat for the movie 'The Q-Ships' and sunk of Eddystone Lighthouse by gunfire.

This witty and perceptive account of the early years of submarine development contains much new material and the lives of the forgotten pioneers of submarines.
It includes many wonderful inventions and even more colourful inventors, but focuses primarily on John Philip Holland, the Irish-American genius who took submarine development out of the hands of lunatics and visionaries and turned it into a deadly weapon of war
