Vickers and Barrow are names synonymous with the development of the submarine. Hundreds of submarines covering virtually every class have been built for the Royal Navy and foreign Navies. This site is dedicated to not only to those who have served on Her Majesty's Submarines but also to those employees past and present whose skills and efforts have given pride to the phrase 'Barrow built' and made the name Vickers known and respected throughout the world.

| 1915 | E 11 (I 91) | Sustained damage to one of her periscopes during an engagement with the Turkish gunboat Pelenki Deria on 22nd May 1915. Nasmith despatched the gunboat with a torpedo but the crew continued to fire at E11's periscope as their ship sank beneath them. One shell took a neat piece out of the periscope and for the rest of the patrol Nasmith had to operate with only one periscope. During this patrol on the 25th May Nasmith entered Constantinople harbour and carried out attacks on shipping. |
