Service history

In early August 1902 John Alfred Moreton was appointed to the submarine depot ship HMS Hazard, to take command of HM Submarine No.3.[2]

Along with Holland 5, she was one of the first two submarines to be accepted into Royal Navy service on 19 January 1903.[3] However, by the time she was launched she was already considered obsolete and thirteen A-class submarines had already been ordered.[4]
