During WW1, Horton CO E-9 in the Arctic, operating from Russia (or so I've read; van der Vat, The Atlantic Campaign, I think). Trekphiler 03:02, 30 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Nope. E-9 was posted to the Baltic, based out of Russian ports there. Horton was dispatched there in the fall of 1914 I believe along with two other E-class submarines, COed by Lawrence and Nasmith. Nasmith ran aground somewhere inside the Skaggerak, and was forced to abort back to Harwich. Horton and Lawrence served with distinction, and were eventually joined by more British subs, of the E and D class if my memory serves me correctly in the Spring/Summer of 1915. {{User: Scharferimage|Scharferimage]] 14:43, 5 September 2006
