H.M.S. L 53 was one of thirty-five "L" class submarines completed for the Royal Navy.

Service

L 53 paid off on 16 November, 1924 after successfully completing trials. She would be commissioned to join the Second Submarine Flotilla, which was to proceed to the Mediterranean in January.[6] She commissioned on 10 December, 1924. In 1925, she was still part of Second Submarine Flotilla in the Mediterranean.[7]

2 S.F., then numbering five "L" class submarines, left Malta for England on 26 October, 1926. The formation was expected back in Devonport on 7 November and the boats would fall under command of Rear-Admiral (S).[8]

2 S.F. apparently returned to the Mediterranean, however, remaining there until at least early 1929.[9]

By mid-1931, she had been transferred to the Fifth Submarine Flotilla,[10] where she remained until at least mid-1937, being reduced to Reserve on 7 September 1936[11]
