EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a scene of B-class submarines moored together at Torquay, Devon, during the early years of the 20th century. Among the submarines is the historic vessel B11, which played a pivotal role in the First World War. The B11 earned the prestigious Victoria Cross for its daring attack on the Turkish battleship Mesudiye in the Dardanelles in 1915. The Victoria Cross is the highest military decoration awarded for valor in the face of the enemy in the British and Australian military. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the naval might and technological advancements of the Royal Navy during the First World War. The B-class submarines, with their distinctive conning towers and slender hulls, represent the early days of underwater warfare. This photograph is a testament to the bravery and innovation of the sailors who served on these submarines and the crucial role they played in the naval battles of the Great War.
