HMS Farnborough
HMS ''Farnborough'', also known as ''(Q-5)'', was a Q-ship of the British Royal Navy that saw service in the First World War. ''Farnborough'' was a heavily armed merchant ship with concealed weaponry that was designed to lure submarines into making surface attacks. ''Farnborough'' sank two submarines in her service in the First World War. The first submarine was SM ''U-68'' which involved the first successful use of depth charges. The second submarine was SM ''U-83'' which was sunk on 17 February 1917 in an action that won her commander, Gordon Campbell, the Victoria Cross. HMS Farnborough was severely damaged in the action and was beached the same day.
==Construction and design==
''Farnborough'' was originally constructed as a collier under the name ''Loderer''. She had no fixed port and as such was often referred to as a tramp steamer. She was constructed in 1904 and was 3207-gross tons. She was converted into a Q-ship at HMNB Devonport with five 12-pounder guns, two 6-pounders and a Maxim gun. The 12-pounders were concealed by flaps or dummy compartments on the ship. The 6-pounders were hidden at either end of the bridge and the Maxim was in the middle of the ship. She was renamed the ''Farnborough'' en route to her first command.
