H.M.S. X1 (1923): Difference between revisions

Revision as of 19:17, 3 February 2018

H.M.S. X1 was a large cruiser submarine in the Royal Navy launched in 1923 and completed in 1925.

Construction was overseen by Robert Henry Taunton Raikes, who was appointed to the vessel on 11 December, 1922^[1].

She paid off on 23 January, 1924, which seems odd, as she had not yet been commissioned.^[2]

On 29 January, 1925, Philip Esmonde Phillips was appointed, to assume command when the vessel finally commissioned in December, 1925.^[3]

Dates of appointment are provided when known.

Captain Philip E. Phillips, 29 January, 1925^[4] – 29 July, 1927^[5]
Commander Charles H. Allen, 27 July, 1927 – 28 July, 1930
Commander Edward M. C. Barraclough, 28 July, 1930 – 9 February, 1931
