HMS G6 was a British G-class submarine built by Armstrong Whitworth for the Royal Navy during the First World War, laid down on 1 December 1914, launched on 7 December 1915 and commissioned on 10 May 1916. The Admiralty designed the G class in response to a rumour that the Germans were building double-hulled submarines for overseas duties, and the boats had a partial double hull, a surfaced displacement of 703 long tons and a crew of 30. Two Vickers two-stroke diesel engines drove her on the surface at up to 14.25 knots and electric motors drove her submerged at 9 knots. She patrolled the North Sea for German U-boats, survived the war and was sold for scrap to Young of Sunderland in 1921.
