Both the British destroyer HMS E52 and the German destroyer S25 retired from service more than 100 years ago, after the end of World War I. SMS S24 was a V1-class torpedo boat built for the German Imperial Navy in 1913, and fought throughout. of the war, including the Battle of Jutland. When the German Navy was disbanded after losing the war, the S24 was sold for scrap in 1920, which likely happened in modern Coronation Park. The destroyer was 234 feet long, could accommodate a crew of 74 officers, and supplied 568 tons of water. The boilers and steam turbines can generate 11,500 kilowatts of power.
Modern submarines had already become a staple of naval fleets by 1917 when the British E-class HMS E52 was first launched. She was powered by two diesel engines of 800 hp each, and two electric motors of 420 hp, which enabled the submarine to reach a maximum surface speed of 16 knots. It could travel up to 10 knots when underwater and was able to stay submerged for five hours before needing to surface again. HMS E52 could take on a crew of 31 and fight until the end of the war. Among his accomplishments, he drowned U-boat UC-63, before being sold for scrap in 1921, as Submarine technology It was progressing fast enough to actually make it old.
However, a buried junk yard does not spell a bad end for ships. “The submarine under the park is a local legend,” said Dr. RoffeyAnd it could be a great tourist attraction if we could pinpoint its exact location.” Of course, doing so will require more scientific research, but these early results are a good start.
