HMS G7 was a British G-class submarine built by Armstrong Whitworth for the Royal Navy during the First World War, launched on 4 March 1916 and commissioned on 21 August 1916. Like her sisters she had a partial double hull, a surfaced displacement of 703 long tons, a crew of 30 and two Vickers two-stroke diesel engines giving 14.25 knots on the surface. Her role was to patrol the North Sea for German U-boats. On 15 April 1917, between Lerwick and Bergen, she fired a torpedo at U-30 and exchanged gunfire with her, interrupting the German submarine's attempt to sink two Norwegian merchant ships. In October 1918 she was on patrol in the North Sea when communications were lost on 23 October, and she was declared lost on 1 November.
