HMS ''A4'' was an early Royal Navy submarine. She was a member of the first British A-class of submarines. Like all her class, she was built at Vickers, Barrow-in-Furness. She suffered a serious accident, although without casualties, on October 16 1905 during a signalling experiment off Spithead. Water entered through an open ventilator whilst she was running awash, causing the boat to dive to 90 feet and also partially filling her with chlorine gas when it came in contact with the battery acid. The crew managed to blow the ballast tanks and surface the boat and evacuated, but there was an explosion whilst she was being towed back to port and she sank. The boat was salvaged and repaired. During the First World War was used for training. She was sold for scrap on January 16 1920. A04
