HMS E13
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
HMS E13 was a British E class submarine built by HM Dockyard, Chatham. E13 was laid down on 16 December 1912 and was commissioned on 9 December 1914. The hull cost £101,900.
HMS E13 had a relatively short career during World War One. The submarine ran aground near Saltholm island between Malmö and Copenhagen. E13 came under fire from two German destroyers on 18 August 1915. 15 crew members were killed but a Danish torpedo boat, Soloven, prevented E13's destruction. The Danes then interned the remaining crew and boat on 3 September 1915.
The Danes sold HMS E13 to the Danish ship breakers for scrap on 14 December 1921.
