Submarine `K3` High Speed Fleet Submarine `K` Class for the British Admiralty Constructed By Messrs Vickers Barrow in Furness, Launched May 1916` The `K` Class submarines were designed and built on the orders of the Admiralty as rumour was rife that the Kaisermarine had developed a high surface speed U-boat. Ultimately, driven by geared turbines of 10,500 h.p., the `K` class, with a crew of five officers and fifty-three ratings, this submarine had at the time (1916) a surface speed of 25 knots and was the world`s fastest. Known as the `Kalamity Kays` the eighteen `K` class built had unhappy lives. Accidents, technical malfunctions and incompetence led to the class becoming rapidly extinct. `K3``s most momentus moment was when, with HRH The Price of Wales abroad, she suddenly and uncontrollably dived, becoming stuck on the sea bed. After much anguish and 20 minutes she was freed and returned to the surface. The Prince was unharmed, but no doubt shaken by the experience. After many other `adventures`, `K3` was eventually scrapped in 1921. (1)
