H.M.S. Thames was completed in 1888 as one of four second class protected cruisers of the Mersey class, but served in the war as a submarine depot ship.

Service

Completed conversion to a depot ship in July, 1903.[6]

In mid-1906, she was at Portsmouth, one of three depot ships minding the four "A"-class and six "B"-class boats of the Portsmouth Submarine Flotilla.[7]

During the Test Mobilisation, Thames supported the Fifth Submarine Flotilla, which was then comprised of six "C" class submarines.[8] It remained with the Flotilla when it was made part of the Nore Local Defence Flotilla at the start of the war.

In Spring, 1915, Thames received the first Attack Teacher to permit simulated submarine attacks for training men for submarine command.[9]

In July, 1917, she moved over to support three "C" boats from the Ninth Submarine Flotilla, operating as part of the Harwich Force. In November, 1917, Thames moved to join the Sixth Submarine Flotilla, operating as part of the Portsmouth Local Defence Flotilla.

In October, 1918, Thames moved to the Clyde to support the new Periscope School at Campbeltown under the command of Henry Dale Gill, who'd commanded her previously.

She paid off at the Nore on 23 December, 1919.[10]
