H.M.S. L 21 (1919)
Pendant Number: L.21[1]
Builder: Vickers[2]
Ordered: December, 1916[3]
Launched: 11 Oct, 1919[4]
Sold: Feb, 1939[5]

H.M.S. L 21 was one of thirty-five "L" class submarines completed for the Royal Navy.

Service

On 23 November, 1923, a Court of Enquiry determined that L 52's Lt. Cdr. Frank D. Morris was to blame for a collision with L 21.

In March, 1925 she, L 11 and L 22 comprised Group "E" Submarines in Reserve at Portsmouth under the command of Lieutenant-Commander Arthur Laugham Noakes.[6]

Commissioned at Portsmouth on 13 November, 1925.[7]

From at least mid-1927 until at least early 1929, she was with the First Submarine Flotilla in the Mediterranean.[8][9]

By mid-1931, she had been transferred to the Second Submarine Flotilla,[10] where she remained until at least mid-1934.[11]

She was commissioned at Portsmouth on 9 September, 1935.[12]

The submarine was reduced to Reserve on 8 January, 1936.[13]

In 1938, L 21's bell was among a number of ships' bells the Royal Navy offered for sale to officers and others interested. It commanded a price of between £3-£10 plus packing and shipping. Interested parties were to apply to win one at its stated price, stating any special attachment or claim they had to the item(s) applied for.[14]

In June of 1933, her bell was one of about 100 surplus bells announced as being for sale at prices ranging from £1 to £10. Preference would be given to those offers from men with a special consideration in the bell in question.[15]
