EDITORS COMMENTS
This photographic print, titled "The Growth of the Submarine from 1901 to 1912," showcases the evolution of British submarine design and naval technology during a pivotal period of maritime history. The image, produced by renowned illustrator G.H. Davis for the Illustrated London News in 1912, presents a chronological progression of submarine classes from Holland Class (1901) to E Class (1912), each represented as a silhouette due to the confidential nature of their designs. The Holland Class, the first British submarine, was small and could only carry a few torpedoes. In contrast, the subsequent A Class (1903-5) featured improved hull shapes and greater submerged endurance. The B Class (1904-6) introduced the use of electric propulsion, enabling longer underwater journeys. The C Class (1906-9) further expanded the submarine's size and displacement, allowing for more torpedo tubes and guns. By the time the D Class (1911) and E Class (1912) were commissioned, submarines had become formidable weapons of war. The D Class, with its larger size and increased weight, was armed with multiple torpedo tubes and guns. The E Class, represented in silhouette, was an even more significant leap forward, boasting even greater size and armament. This photographic record offers a fascinating glimpse into the rapid development of submarine technology during the pre-World War I era. The escalating size, weight, and weaponry of these vessels underscore the importance of naval preparation and the ever-evolving nature of military technology.
