  • The B class was a class of 11 submarines, built by Vickers in Barrow-in-Furness for the Royal Navy, and launched in 1904–06. One boat was sunk by a collision in 1912, but the remainder served in World War I. Three boats protected the transfer of the British Expeditionary Force to France in 1914, but were soon relegated to local defence and training duties. Six submarines were in the Mediterranean when the war began and were quickly sent to the Dardanelles to prevent a breakout by the German battlecruiser SMS Goeben and the light cruiser SMS Breslau into the Eastern Mediterranean. B11 ventured into the Dardanelles in December 1914 and sank the elderly Turkish ironclad Mesudiye. The arrival of more modern submarines to blockade the Dardanelles made the B-class boats redundant and they were mostly withdrawn to Malta in 1915. They were transferred to Venice after Italy entered the war, where B10 became the first submarine to be sunk by air attack in 1916. The B-class submarines were transferred back to Malta in late 1916 as they were no longer deemed suitable for combat. In mid-1917 they were converted to surface patrol boats and sent to patrol the Otranto Barrage. They proved to be unreliable and were soon sent back to Malta where they were finally paid off. Only B3 was still in commission when the war ended and that was only because it was being used for experimental work and serving as a target to train anti-submarine forces. All surviving boats were sold for scrap in 1919–21. (en)
  • La clase B era una clase de 11 submarinos, construido por Vickers en Barrow-in-Furness para la Marina Real Británica , puestos en marcha en 1904 a 1906. Un barco fue hundido por una colisión en 1912, pero el resto sirvió en la Primera Guerra Mundial. Tres barcos protegidos en la transferencia de la fuerza expedicionaria británica a Francia en 1914, pero pronto fueron relegados a funciones de defensa y de formación locales. Seis submarinos estaban en el Mediterráneo, cuando comenzó la guerra y fueron enviados rápidamente a los Dardanelos para evitar una ruptura por el crucero de batalla alemán SMS Goeben y el crucero ligero SMS Breslau en el Mediterráneo oriental. El B11 se aventuró en los Dardanelos en diciembre de 1914 y hundió el acorazado antiguo Turkish ironclad Mesudiye. La llegada de más submarinos modernos para bloquear los Dardanelos hizo que los barcos de clase B redundaran y que en su mayoría se retiraron a Malta en 1915. Ellos fueron trasladados a Venecia después de que Italia entró a la guerra, donde B10 se convirtió en el primer submarino en ser hundido por un ataque aéreo en 1916. Los submarinos de la clase B se transfirieron de nuevo a Malta a finales de 1916 ya que ya no se consideraban adecuados para el combate. A mediados de 1917 se convirtieron en patrullas de la superficie y fueron enviados a patrullar la presa de Otranto. Demostraron ser poco fiables y pronto fueron enviados de vuelta a Malta, donde finalmente fueron sacados de circulación. Sólo el B3 todavía estaba en comisión cuando terminó la guerra y solamente porque estaba siendo utilizado para trabajo experimental y sirviendo como blanco para el entrenamiento de las fuerzas anti-submarinos. Todos los barcos supervivientes fueron vendidos como chatarra de 1919 a 1921. (es)
