==Design==
Like all post-''E8'' [[British E-class submarine]]s, ''E22'' had a displacement of {{convert|662|
''E22'' was armed with five
E-Class submarines had wireless systems with {{convert|1|kW}} power ratings; in some submarines, these were later upgraded to {{convert|3|kW}} systems by removing a midship torpedo tube. Their maximum design depth was {{convert|100|ft}} although in service some reached depths of below {{convert|200|ft}}. Some submarines contained [[Fessenden oscillator]] systems.<ref name="McCartneyBryan2013"/>
==Crew==

''E22'' was torpedoed by the German [[U-boat]] {{SMU|UB-18||2}} off [[Great Yarmouth]] in the [[North Sea]] on 25 April 1916.<ref>{{cite Uboat.net |id=1769
