K 13 went down when she was running her trials in the Firth of Clyde. There were more than seventy people on board; for many of the contractors' leading experts went out to see how she behaved. She got into the quiet waters of the Gairloch to submerge, but when she went down some of the engine room ventilating valves failed to close.
