It was originally intended to fit a 4-inch (102 mm) gun on the foredeck, but this was dropped due to the adverse effect it would have had on submerged speed. 437:
Ordered in December 1917, the R class were designed to be faster underwater than on the surface, achieving a submerged speed of 14 knots (26 km/h; 16 mph) versus a surfaced speed of 9 knots (17 km/h; 10 mph). They were well-streamlined, having no external ballast tanks, casing, or

Thirty-five per cent of the space inside the pressure hull was occupied by machinery. A single 8-cylinder 480 hp (360 kW) diesel engine was installed for surface propulsion, while high underwater speed was given by two large electric motors arranged one behind the other to drive the single

submarines. The large battery was, however, sufficient for only about an hour at full power. In addition, the engine took a full day to charge the batteries, using half its power. Charging was therefore undertaken in harbour, using a supply of electricity from the shore or from special battery

Despite being designed for maximum underwater performance, the R-class submarines were extremely difficult to control submerged, especially at high speeds. Surfaced, they had poor seakeeping and were slow. Minor modifications were made to

The torpedo tubes were originally the smaller 18-inch (457 mm) but later changed to 491:, the only submarine of the class to survive into the 1930s, which made it more manageable on the surface, but reduced its submerged speed to a maximum 13 knots (24 km/h; 15 mph). 2124: 176: 2117: 418:, in that they were designed specifically to attack and sink enemy submarines, their battery capacity and hull shape being optimized for underwater performance. 2524: 1057: 1240: 1207: 1030: 1050: 1427: 943: 1455: 1202: 2519: 1043: 1952: 1572: 1009: 983: 897: 2350: 1531: 1489: 1462: 1413: 186: 1660: 1653: 1233: 425:(26 km/h; 16 mph), the class set an underwater speed record not broken until the experimental Japanese 568: 519: 2058: 2033: 1961: 1938: 1931: 1607: 1565: 2232: 2048: 2008: 1719: 1674: 2227: 2003: 1945: 1545: 1392: 2038: 1614: 1510: 1399: 2514: 2043: 1600: 1538: 1481: 1448: 1226: 2333: 2328: 2323: 2318: 2313: 2308: 2303: 2298: 2293: 2288: 2283: 2165: 2158: 2131: 1714: 1496: 1166: 675: 477: 1218: 2278: 2172: 2085: 2080: 2075: 2053: 1998: 1993: 1988: 1983: 1876: 1835: 1579: 1503: 1469: 553: 2237: 2138: 2092: 2023: 1862: 1828: 1524: 1517: 934: 538: 510: 454: 381: 17: 698:
