HMS R9 was one of ten R class submarines built for the Royal Navy during the First World War, a specialised hunter killer type designed with an emphasis on submerged performance. She was laid down on 1 December 1917 by Armstrong Whitworth, launched on 12 August 1918 and commissioned on 26 July 1919, too late to see combat. She displaced 410 long tons on the surface and 503 long tons submerged, was 163 feet 9 inches long, and had a single diesel engine on the surface and an electric motor submerged, with six 18 inch bow torpedo tubes and an array of five bow hydrophones. She was sold on 21 February 1923.
