Front page news on January 7 1915 are the German Naval raids along the British coast. Bisbee Daily Review talks about the exploits of HMS B-11 who somehow snuck under a Ottoman minefield and sank a Turkish Battleship. Yet then in a surprising mistake it prints the pictures of two other Royal Navy subs that it says will protect the English coast. Which would be great if they weren’t already at the bottom of the ocean.

HMS E3 has the distinction of being the first sub to be sunk by another sub, German U-boat SM U-27, on October 18, 1914 .

Whereas HMS D5 meet her fate when she struck a mine laid by SMS Stralsund on November 3, 1914
