HMS E35
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
HMS E35 was a British E class submarine built by John Brown, Clydebank. She was laid down on 20 May 1916 and was commissioned on 14 July 1917.
HMS E35 sank U-boat U-154 (one of the 1512 ton U-boat cruisers originally designed as cargo carrying blockade runners) off the island of Madeira on 11 May 1918. This sinking was helped by British intelligence who had learned of a planned rendezvous between two U-boats off Cape St Vincent.
HMS E35 was sold in Newcastle on 6 September 1922.
