K-class submarine

A K-class submarine was a type of British military submarine developed in the early 20th century, primarily used during World War I. Designed for both scouting and attacking enemy ships, it was larger than typical submarines of its time, allowing it to carry more torpedoes and operate deeper underwater. The K-class had a unique design with a large dual-hull structure and powered by steam turbines, which was unusual for submarines. Its primary role was to support fleet operations and conduct patrols, but it faced challenges such as technical issues and accidents due to its size and complexity.
