HMS A3 1904 WW1 BRITISH SUBMARINE 3D MODEL

A3 was built at Vickers, Barrow-in-Furness and was commissioned on 13 July 1904.

She served as a coastal defence and training submarine in over seven years of service.

On 2 February 1912, A3, with several other submarines was dispatched from Gosport, to conduct training exercises with target ships in the Solent.

Whilst attacking the depot ship HMS Hazard, A3 accidentally collided with its target.

Its rudder and propeller were both damaged, and A3 sank with all hands lost.
