HMS H10 was a British H-class submarine built by the Canadian Vickers Co., Montreal. She was laid down on an unknown date and was commissioned in June 1915.
HMS H10 was lost in the North Sea on 19 January 1918. She had a complement of twenty-two crew members, a length of {{convert|171|ft|m}}, and a surfaced range of {{convert|1600|nmi|km mi}} at {{convert|10|kn|km/h mph}}.
Design
Like all pre-H11 British H-class submarines, H10 had a displacement of {{convert|364|LT|t}} at the surface and {{convert|434|LT|t}} while submerged.{{cite web|url=http://www.battleships-cruisers.co.uk/h_class1.htm|title=H-class|publisher=Battleships-Cruisers, Cranston Fine Arts|access-date=20 August 2015}} It had a total length of {{convert|150|ft|3|in|m|1}}, a beam of {{convert|15|ft|4|in}}, and a draught of {{convert|12|ft|m}}. It contained a diesel engines providing a total power of {{convert|480|hp}} and two electric motors each providing {{convert|320|hp}} power.{{Cite Colledge2006}} Retrieved from [http://www.naval-history.net/WW1NavyBritishShips-Dittmar3WarshipsA.htm#10 Naval-History] on 20 August 2015. The use of its electric motors made the submarine travel at {{convert|11|kn|km/h mph}}. It would normally carry {{convert|16.4|LT|t}} of fuel and had a maximum capacity of {{convert|18|LT|t}}.{{cite web|url=http://www.gwpda.org/naval/hpatsubs.htm|title=Building History and Technical Details for Canadian CC-Boats and the Original H-CLASS|publisher=Electric Boat Company Holland Patent Submarines|author=J.

The submarine had a maximum surface speed of {{convert|13|kn|km/h mph}} and a submerged speed of {{convert|11|kn|km/h mph}}. British H-class submarines had ranges of {{convert|1600|nmi|km mi}} at speeds of {{convert|10|kn|km/h mph}}. H10 was fitted with a {{convert|6|lb}} Hotchkiss quick-firing gun (6-pounder) and four {{convert|18|in}} torpedo tubes. Its torpedo tubes were fitted to the bows and the submarine was loaded with eight {{convert|18|in}} torpedoes. It is a Holland 602 type submarine but was designed to meet Royal Navy specifications. Its complement was twenty-two crew members.
