The First Submarine Flotilla was a formation of submarines of the Royal Navy.

History

Test Mobilisation of July 1914

Two submarines were known to participate: A 8 and A 9.[1]

September, 1914

The flotilla is a component of the Devonport Defence Flotilla, which also has some four organic destroyers and eight torpedo boats.[2]

Submarines
A 8 A 9

This roster and tasking would apply until February of 1916.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]

February, 1916

The flotilla appears to be disbanded. It would not reappear in the Monthly Supplements to the Navy List until September, 1916.

September, 1916

What was previously dubbed the Seventh Submarine Flotilla is now the new First. Its mission is the same as the Seventh's old one: part of the Firth of Forth Defence Flotilla, working alongside the Eighth Destroyer Flotilla.[17]

It would have this roster and tasking until February or March, 1917.[18][19][20][21]

March, 1917

Hebe has shifted over to the Third Submarine Flotilla and the "C" class submarines have been attached to Ninth Submarine Flotilla.[22] Only B 3 is holding the fort.

This humble state of affairs would last until February, 1918.[23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32]

February, 1918

B 3 is now noted as enjoying the services of a depot ship that is not otherwise affiliated with her tiny flotilla.[33]

Attached to the Firth of Forth Defence Flotilla
Submarines, tender to Tarlair
B 3

This would apply for just the month.

March, 1918

In March, 1918, the Firth of Forth Defence Flotilla would be disbanded, as would its First Submarine Flotilla subsidiary. B 3 was sent to provide "Experimental Work".[34]
