HM Submarine E14: 28 January 1918
HM Submarine E14 was built by Vickers in Barrow-in-Furness and was commissioned on 18 November 1914.In January 1918 she was tasked to destroy the badly damaged battlecruiser Goeben in the Dardanelles. The Goeben wasn't where she was reported and in withdrawing from the Dardanelles the submarines captain attempted to destroy a merchant vessel with torpedoes. One of the torpedoes exploded prematurely damaging the submarine and she was forced to surface. Turkish coastal batteries attacked the submarine and she was eventually sunk by shellfire. Nine of her crew survived and were taken prisoner.
