Join our two amateur historians as they dive into the remarkable — and often overlooked — story of HMS E22, a British E-class submarine with a brief but dramatic role in the First World War. From the experimental aircraft-launching trials she took part in, to the tragic mission that led to her sinking in 1916, this episode explores the innovative ideas, strategic risks, and human stories behind one of the Royal Navy’s lesser-known vessels.
Expect thoughtful history, accessible storytelling, and a look at how wartime ingenuity shaped the submarines of the future. Perfect for listeners who enjoy hidden maritime history and tales from beneath the waves.
