Creator's Key Takeaways
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm your friend Mike Brady from Ocean Liner Designs, and this is the story of Britain's bizarre and exceptionally dangerous steamowered submarine, the dreadful KClass boat.
The K-class submarine was intended to fill a gap in the Royal Navy's fleet, fast enough to keep up with the massive battleships in fleet engagements.
The crews would need to be impeccably well drilled and trained to close all the vent hatches and trunking off to the water in order to actually dive the boat.
Men who volunteered for service in submarines and were assigned to the K-class boats began to refer to themselves as the suicide club.
