EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the British submarine D 4, a pioneering vessel of the Royal Navy's submarine fleet during the First World War. D 4 was a unique submarine, outfitted with an innovative quick-firing gun mounted forward of the conning tower. The gun, which sat atop a moving platform within the hull, was raised for action by hydraulic machinery. This powerful weapon expanded the submarine's offensive capabilities, enabling it to engage enemy surface ships from underwater. The year was 1914, and the First World War was in full swing. Submarines were becoming an increasingly important part of naval warfare, offering a stealthy and deadly advantage to the British Navy. The D 4, with its mounted gun, represented the cutting edge of submarine technology at the time. When the submarine was preparing to dive, the gun was lowered and covered by a watertight door, ensuring the vessel remained watertight and undetected beneath the waves. The combination of stealth and firepower made the D 4 a formidable weapon in the British arsenal. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the history of submarine warfare during the First World War, providing a fascinating insight into the technological advancements and military strategies of the time. The D 4 and its mounted gun represent a pivotal moment in the evolution of naval warfare, as submarines became an essential component of the battlefield both above and below the waves.
