The flotilla is not only attached to the Clyde Defence Flotilla, it is that flotilla's only asset, and would remain so through September, 1916. It has three old "A" class submarines, depot ship Pactolus, a destroyer and an armed yacht.[4]

In a confusing shuffle. the flotilla has exchanged designations with the Seventh Submarine Flotilla. Pactolus and B 4 are now with the Seventh and remain attached to the Clyde Defence Flotilla. The flotilla now has the former assets of the Seventh and continues its work as part of the Harwich Force.
The strength is now much greater: two old light cruisers, three destroyers, fourteen "E" class submarines and their depot ship which acts as flagship for Captain (S).[29]
