HMS H31

HMS H31

HMS "H31" was a British H class submarine built by Vickers, Barrow-in-Furness. She was laid down on 19 April 1917 and was commissioned on 21 February 1919.

HMS "H31" survived until World War Two. During the war, she took part in the operation to keep the German battlecruiser "Scharnhorst" in Brest, France in November 1941 before the channel dash to German homeports in the company of "Gneisenau" and "Prinz Eugen" in February 1942. During the operation, "H31" was sunk by unknown causes, but most believe she was mined in the Bay of Biscay on 24 December 1941.
