@MonkeyJedi99 I think it probably showed that the sort of fleet manoeuvres these submarines were designed for weren't really possible; that signalling needed to be improved; and, perhaps, that you really should call "Knock it off" when an exercise goes wrong, though perhaps that wasn't all that clear at the time, with the deficiency in signalling. Oh, and it also showed (yet again) that the K class were misconceived. What really causes outrage, a century later, is that the Admiralty persisted with the class, even though it was clear to many (including Fisher) that huge steam submarines were a bad idea, even before they were ordered.

While we're thinking of sabotage, when I heard that one of the K class had sunk at her moorings, I wondered if a crew had finally decided that his His Majesty would be best served by sending them to the bottom,
