HMS Venturer vs U-864

Did you know that there was a submarine vs submarine battle where both subs were underwater?

There was, but by that time it was recognized that the chances of a sub vs sub engagement were so low that there was no training or planning for it. And homing torpedoes weren't yet a thing ...

M3 was ordered from Armstrong Whitworth on 28 July 1916 and laid down at Elswick in December as an M-class submarine. She was launched on 19 October 1919, and commissioned as M3 on 16 March 1920. After completion of trials on 17 August, she was placed in reserve. M3 was converted to an experimental minelayer, as a result of the Washington Naval Treaty placing limits on submarine weaponry.
