Description
Length: 233 feet

Displacement: 700 tons

Armament: x4 22 inch torpedo tubes. x1 75mm main gun

The experience with the smaller one dash ones encouraged the development of a larger design with more substantial open seas capacity for operations outside of the Sea of Uthen, and the two dash one accordingly sported a more powerful engine and larger fuel reserves. Armed with a 75mm deck gun mounted in her conning tower--a feature which would become distinctive for kingdomer submarines in spite of the disadvantages of the position--the two dash one was the first submarine class launched by any of the nations which would ultimately come to be a part of the Greater Confederated Kingdoms , as the rival kingdom of Laurentin considered submarines to be dishonorable weapons and resisted development.

Only four two dash ones were built between 1919 and 1922, with further construction suspended in the wake of the establishment of the confederacy and the introduction of pacifist philosophies, which accordingly dramatically cut back on naval expenditures. However, unlike capitol ships, the submarine was seen as a worthwhile defensive investement, as they were considerably cheaper than cruisers and battleships while formidale weapons both in the practical sense of sinking enemy vessels, and the psychological sense of their difficulty to locate. As such, submarine development proceeded throughout the 1920s and 1930s at a more substantial rate than surface vessels. Originally only numbered, the ships were given names in 1930 as a means of improving crew morale, and laid down the tradition of naming submarines after weapons.

While the grecken went to considerable lengths to keep its surface fleet in service, the risks involved in prolonged operations of mechanically sensitive submarines would prove prohibitive. S-4 was lost in an accident in 1929, resulting in a review of the type and their ultimate retirement in 1934. The uff de Laurent royal family, having already been traumatized by the loss of their king and crown prinz at sea, put great emphasis on ensuring the safety and quality of the submarine fleet especially, as they were particularly aware of the risks involved.
