SS (Submarine Scout or Sea Scout) class airships were simple cheap and easily assembled small non-rigid airships or blimps that were developed as a matter of some urgency to counter the German U-boat threat to British shipping during World War I. The class proved to be versatile and effective with a total of 158 being built in several versions.
