H.M.S. B 6 was one of eleven "B" class coastal submarines completed for the Royal Navy.
Service
Around November, 1915, B 6 was assigned to the British Adriatic Squadron, becoming one of a six "B" class boats in the formation. At a time when it coastal submarines were enjoying ever-less utility, the Adriatic was well-suited to operations by such handy craft.
B 6 was withdrawn from service around November 1916 and taken to Malta, where she would be reconfigured for surface-only operation as an "S" class patrol boat. She returned with three sisters to the Adriatic Squadron in August 1917.
