HMS Sword [SEP] present in work
HMS Sword
HMS "Sword" is a fictional experimental submarine of the British Royal Navy in Jules Verne's 1896 novel "Facing the Flag".
As described by Verne, "Sword" was a "submersible boat of only twelve tons", carrying a crew of four and commanded by a lieutenant. Her screw was worked by a couple of dynamos fitted with accumulators that needed to be charged in port, and which enabled her to cruise for only one or two days. She was divided into three watertight compartments
