Drydocks in Malta in 1918, showcasing the vessels undergoing maintenance or repair during the war. The setting reflects the maritime environment and operational readiness essential for naval forces at the time. During World War I, submarine chasers were small, fast ships used primarily for antisubmarine warfare and coastal patrolling. Operating in various theaters of war, these vessels played crucial roles in protecting larger ships from enemy submarines and in securing maritime routes. The use of dry docks like H. M. Drydocks in Malta was vital, as they allowed naval forces to efficiently manage the upkeep of their fleets, ensuring they remained battle-ready. ?Sub. Chaser Detachment in Dry Dock - H. M.
