The S class was based on an Italian design of the Laurenti boats. The design had ten internal bulkheads.[1] Three vessels were constructed. All three were transferred to the Italian Navy in October 1915, presumably on the grounds that the Italians would be more familiar with the design and technology.{{Citation needed|date=March 2009}} References{{Commonscat|British S class submarine (1914)|S class submarine}}1. ^{{cite book |title=HM Submarines in Camera An Illustrated History of British Submarines |last=Tall |first=J.J |author2=Paul Kemp |year=1996 |publisher=Sutton Publishing |isbn=0-7509-0875-0 |page=44}}
