I came across the following:
HMS K4
31 January 1918
Sank in Forth Estuary after collision with HMS K6
On 31st January 1918 HMS K4 left harbour bound for a North Sea exercise. In what became known as the Battle of May Island a number of submarines were lost. Several collisions occurred, including K6 colliding with K4. So great was the collision that K4 was cut almost in two and sank immediately with the loss of all onboard.
Are there any memorials to these events?
