H.M.S. A 11 was one of thirteen "A" class coastal submarines completed for the Royal Navy.
Service
On 7 September, 1910 she rammed and sank a barge while leaving Portsmouth Harbour. There were no deaths or injuries aboard either vessel, but A 11's bow was damaged and she put into Haslar for repairs.[5]
A 11 served in the Ninth Submarine Flotilla, which was part of the Clyde Local Defence Flotilla, from the Test Mobilisation until she transferred to the Fourth Submarine Flotilla around October, 1915. She operated with that formation in Home and Atlantic waters until around April, 1916 when she fell off the Navy List. She likely sat idle for the rest of the war.
