HMS C16 was a British C class submarine built by Vickers, Barrow-in-Furness. She was laid down on 14 December 1906 and was commissioned on 5 June 1908.
Sinking
HMS C16 was sunk in a collision with HMS C17 south of Cromer, Norfolk on 14 July 1909. There was only one survivor. She was salved and recommissioned.
C16 was again sunk after being rammed at periscope depth by the British destroyer HMS Melampus off Harwich on 16 April 1917. The boat bottomed at 60 ft. The first Lieutenant, Lieut S Anderson was fired through a torpedo tube to try to escape. He unfortunately drowned. So the skipper tried to flood the boat in an effort to escape through the fore hatch. But the fender jammed the hatch so the crew became trapped. The escape attempts were recorded by the commanding officer, Lieut H Boase, and was corked in a bottle found lying near him when the hull was salvaged. All the crew of HMS C16 died. HMS C16 was salved and recommissioned.
HMS C16 was finally sold on the 12 August 1922.
