In December 1916, ''K3'', with the future King George VI aboard, uncontrollably dived. The ship plunged to 150 feet with the stern and propellers raised above the waves. It took twenty minutes to free the ship from the sea bed mud and surface successfully. On the 9 January 1917, ''K3''’s boiler room was flooded in the North Sea. ''K3'' was involved in an accident with the 4th Light Cruiser Squadron, that led to the sinking of , in November 1917. ''K3'' was also involved in the "Battle of May Island" in 1918. On 2 May 1918, ''K3'' yet again uncontrollably dived to 266 feet which crushed part of the hull. ''K3'' was sold on 26 October 1921 to the Barking Ship Breaking Company for scrapping in London. ==References== * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「HMS K3」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
