HMS K6
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
HMS K6 was a British K class submarine built by HM Dockyard, Devonport. She was laid down on the 8 November 1915 and commissioned in May 1917.
K6 was the first of the K class to have its bows raised by converting it into a bulbous swan shape. In 1917, K6 refused to surface during a submerged trial in North Dockyard, Devonport.
K6 was involved in a serious exercise accident nicknamed 'battle of May island'. She was responsible for ramming K4 and slicing her in half.
K6 was sold on the 13 July 1926 at Newport.
