H.M.S. B 7 was one of eleven "B" class coastal submarines completed for the Royal Navy.

Service

Around October, 1915, B 7 was assigned to the Adriatic Squadron along with sisters B 8 and B 9. At a time when it coastal submarines were enjoying ever-less utility, the Adriatic was well-suited to operations by such handy boats.

B 7 was withdrawn from service around November 1916 and taken to Malta, where she would be reconfigured for surface-only operation as an "S" class patrol boat. She returned with three sisters to the Adriatic Squadron in August 1917.
