HMS C27

HMS C27

HMS "C27" was a British C class submarine built by Vickers, Barrow. She was laid down on 4 June 1908 and was commissioned on 14 August 1909.

HMS "C27" along with the trawler Princess Louise (ex Princess Marie Jose) sank U-23 in the Fair Isle Channel between Orkney and Shetland on 20 July 1915 during the U-boat trap tactic.

The tactic was to use a decoy trawler to tow a submarine. Then when a U-boat is sighted, the tow line and communication line is slipped and the submarine would attack the U-boat. The tactic was partly successful, but it was abandoned after the loss of 2 British C class submarine. In both cases, all the crew were lost.

HMS "C27" was involved in the Baltic operations from 1915 to 1918.

HMS "C27" was scuttled on 5 April 1918 outside Helsinki (Helsingfors) south of the Harmaja Light (Gråhara) to avoid seizure by advancing German forces. HMS "C27" was salved for breaking up in Finland in August 1953.
