HMAS AE1
HMAS ''AE1'' (originally known as just ''AE1'') was an ''E''-class submarine of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). She was the first submarine to serve in the RAN, and was lost at sea with all hands near East New Britain, Papua New Guinea, on 14 September 1914, after less than seven months in service. The wreck of the submarine has never been found, despite several searches.
==Design and construction==
(詳細は''D''-class submarine enlarged to accommodate an additional pair of broadside torpedo tubes.〔Harrison, Chapter 4: ''Pre-1914 Saddle Tank Types D & E Classes''.〕 ''AE1'' was long overall, had a beam of and a draught of .〔 She displaced on the surface〔Frame, ''No Pleasure Cruise'', p. 97.〕 and submerged. The ''E''-class boats had a designed diving depth of , but the addition of watertight bulkheads strengthened the hull and increased the actual diving depth to .〔 The complement consisted of 34 officers and ratings.〔Gillett, ''Australian & New Zealand Warships, 1914–1945'', p. 47.〕
The boat had two propellers, each of which was driven by an eight-cylinder,〔 diesel engine as well as a electric motor. This arrangement gave the ''E''-class submarines a maximum speed of while surfaced and when submerged.〔 They carried approximately 〔 of fuel oil, which provided a range of at while on the surface〔 and at while submerged.〔 ''AE1'' had four 18-inch torpedo tubes, one each in the bow and stern, plus two on the broadside, one firing to port and the other to starboard. The boat carried one spare torpedo for each tube. No guns were fitted.〔
''AE1'' was laid down by Vickers Armstrong at Barrow-in-Furness, England, on 14 November 1911, launched on 22 May 1913 and commissioned into the RAN on 28 February 1914.〔Sea Power Centre Australia, ''HMAS AE1''.〕 After commissioning, ''AE1'', accompanied by ''AE2'', the other of the RAN's first two submarines, reached Sydney from England on 24 May 1914. Officers for the submarines were Royal Navy (RN) personnel, while the ratings were a mix of sailors drawn from the RN and RAN.〔''Navy to hunt for lost sub'', in ''The Sydney Morning Herald''.〕
