HMS A2 was an {{sclass2-|A|submarine (1903)|0}} submarine built for the Royal Navy in the first decade of the 20th century. Design and descriptionA2 was a member of the first British class of submarines, although slightly larger, faster and more heavily armed than the lead ship, {{HMS|A1}}. The submarine had a length of {{convert|105|ft|1|in|m|1}} overall, a beam of {{convert|12|ft|9|in|m|1}} and a mean draft of {{convert|10|ft|8|in|m|1}}. They displaced {{convert|190|LT|t}} on the surface and {{convert|206|LT|t}} submerged. The A-class submarines had a crew of 2 officers and 11 ratings.[1]For surface running, the boats were powered by a single 16-cylinder {{convert|450|bhp|lk=in|0|adj=on}} Wolseley petrol engine that drove one propeller shaft. When submerged the propeller was driven by a {{convert|150|hp|0|adj=on}} electric motor. They could reach {{convert|10|kn|lk=in}} on the surface and {{convert|7|kn}} underwater. On the surface, A2 had a range of {{convert|320|nmi|lk=in}} at {{convert|10|kn}};[1] submerged the boat had a range of {{convert|30|nmi|lk=in}} at {{convert|5|kn}}.[2] 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 doing so that they had to compensate for their weight by an equivalent weight of fuel.[3] Construction and careerLike all boats in her class, she was built at Vickers, Barrow-in-Furness. She was launched on 15 April 1903. During World War I, A2 served on harbour service at Portsmouth.[4] She flooded after running aground in Bomb Ketch Lake in Portsmouth Harbour in January 1920 and was sold for scrap to H. G. Pound of Portsmouth on 22 October 1925. Notes1. ^1 Gardiner & Gray, p. 86 2. ^Akermann, p. 120 3. ^Harrison, Chapter 27 4. ^{{cite book | title = British Warships 1914-1919 |author1=Dittmar, F.
