scif_yarHMS B11
На лодках типа B, как и на большинстве других в то время, путевой компас устанавливался на мостике, чтобы уменьшить девиацию от железа корпуса. Изображение картушки передавалось в центральный пост через примитивную систему линз и зеркал. В критический момент, от протечки или от избыточной конденсации, она вышла из строя. Не оставалось другого выбора, кроме как всплывать под перископ. Но всплыв, командир был шокирован: течение втянуло лодку ещё глубже в бухту. Казалось, скалы обступают со всех сторон, а на лодку шли миноносцы, с явным намерением таранить. Холбрук приказал погружаться на 50 футов — ожидаемую глубину в этом месте. Но лодка ударилась о грунт на 38 футах ..
..
Наконец, в 14:10 лодка всплыла в двух милях от мыса Хеллес и связалась с ожидавшими эсминцами. Они сопровождали её до Митилины. Всего B.11 провела под водой 9 часов. За это время воздух в ней настолько загрязнился, что при открытии верхнего люка наружу вырвалось ядовитое зеленовато-желтое облако. Потребовалось 30 минут вентиляции, чтобы восстановить уровень кислорода, достаточный для запуска бензинового мотора.

HMS President - тоже интересная посудина
HMS President (1918) (formerly HMS Saxifrage) is a retired Flower-class Q-ship that was launched in 1918. She was renamed HMS President in 1922 and moored permanently on the Thames as a Royal Navy Reserve drill ship.
Подход с точки зрения флота прекрасен:
From 1922 she was employed as a Royal Naval Reserve drill ship, and as such was moored permanently on the Thames at Blackfriars. Her new name was inherited from the Old President of 1829, which had been based in West India Docks from 1862 to 1903 as the first London naval reserve drill ship. [Note 3] The 1918 President remained in Royal Navy service for a total of seventy years, from 1918 to 1988. She was the last Royal Navy warship to wear Victorian battleship livery of black hull, white superstructure and buff yellow funnel and masts. All naval personnel working at the Admiralty and elsewhere in London were nominally appointed to service in President, and they were paid and administered by her staff. MI6/SIS officers who had RN commissions were appointed to president, but paid and administered by the SIS.
