Interesting pics. Goeben - Churchill said something like "Never has so much misery and destruction been carried in the compass of one ship". Something like that.

I think Marlborough had the distinction of being the only British capital ship to be damaged by a torpedo at Jutland.

Australian submarine AE2

They've just found the wreck of an Aussie sub in the Dardanelles. AE2 comes to mind but I could be way off.

[MAGNA]

I think you are right. That is where it went missing as far as I remember.

[Geek44]

wasn't there also an AE1?

[MAGNA]

That is correct. AE1 disappeared somewhere around New Guinea in 1914.

AE2 actually came through Albany. She was towed to Egypt for operations in the Dardanelles and became the first sub to penetrate to the Sea of Marmara, before being sunk by shellfire after an adventurous trip. (1915).

Both these E class subs were built by Vickers Armstrong.
