They were a series of steam-propelled submarines built for the Royal Navy during World War I. However, they were notorious for being plagued with design flaws and accidents.

These submarines were much larger than their predecessors, with the intention of carrying a significant number of torpedoes and having longer endurance. However, they were beset with issues such as instability, poor handling characteristics, and mechanical failures. The most infamous incident involving the K-class submarines was the Battle of May Island in 1918, where a collision during a night exercise led to the loss of two submarines and 104 crew members.

Later higher bow is also included, it is glued on to the standard bow.

In addition, she daily transported German general Otto Liman von Sanders, who was the adviser and military commander of the Ottoman Army, between Eceabat and Gallipoli. On 29 April 1915, she received orders to return to Constantinople by sailing along the west coast of the Sea of Marmara. On the way, Commander Ali Rıza Bey changed his route and sailed eastwards in response to reports of the presence of a possible enemy submarine in that area.
