HMS C21 was one of 38 C-class submarines built for the Royal Navy in the first decade of the 20th century. Design and descriptionThe C-class boats of the 1907–08 and subsequent Naval Programmes were modified to improve their speed, both above and below the surface. The submarine had a length of {{convert|142|ft|3|in|m|1}} overall, a beam of {{convert|13|ft|7|in|m|1}} and a mean draft of {{convert|11|ft|6|in|m|1}}. They displaced {{convert|290|LT|t}} on the surface and {{convert|320|LT|t}} submerged. The C-class submarines had a crew of two officers and fourteen ratings.[1] For surface running, the boats were powered by a single 12-cylinder[2] {{convert|600|bhp|lk=in|0|adj=on}} Vickers petrol engine that drove one propeller shaft. When submerged the propeller was driven by a {{convert|300|hp|0|adj=on}} electric motor.[1] They could reach {{convert|13|kn|lk=in}} on the surface and {{convert|8|kn}} underwater. On the surface, the C class had a range of {{convert|910|nmi|lk=in}} at {{convert|12|kn}}.[3] The boats were armed with two 18-inch (45 cm) torpedo tubes in the bow. They could carry a pair of reload torpedoes, but generally did not as they would have to remove an equal weight of fuel in compensation.[4] Construction and careerHMS C29 was built by Vickers, Barrow. She was laid down on 4 June 1908 and was commissioned on 17 September 1909. The boat sank a merchant ship while patrolling the Gulf of Riga in the Baltic. C29 was involved in the use of the U-boat trap tactic. The tactic was to use a decoy trawler to tow a submarine. When a U-boat was sighted, the tow line and communication line was slipped and the submarine would attack the U-boat. The tactic was partly successful, but was abandoned after the loss of two C-class submarines. In both cases, all the crew were lost. C29 was one of the two C-class submarines sunk while attempting to employ the tactic; she was mined when her trawler Ariadne strayed into a minefield in the Humber Estuary on 29 August 1915.[5]Notes1. ^1 Gardiner & Gray, p. 87 2. ^Harrison, Chapter 25 3. ^Harrison, Chapters 3 4. ^Harrison, Chapter 27 5. ^{{cite book|last=Kemp|first=Paul J.|title=British Submarines of World War One|year=1990|publisher=Arms and Armour Press|location=London|isbn=9781854090102|page=8}} References
