HMS C30

HMS C30 was a C-class submarine of the Royal Navy, launched in 1909. These submarines were among the earliest built for the Royal Navy and were designed for coastal defense. C30 served during World War I, primarily operating in the North Sea and English Channel. The C-class submarines, including C30, were relatively small and had a limited operational range compared to later submarine designs. They were armed with torpedoes and were used for patrolling and attacking enemy shipping. After the war, C30 was decommissioned and eventually scrapped. Its significance lies in its role as one of the pioneering submarines that helped shape the development of undersea warfare tactics and technology in the early 20th century.
