Holland 3 was a Royal Navy submarine launched on 9 May 1902. The submarine was designed by Vickers at Barrow-in-Furness and was laid down on 4 February 1901. The submarine was commissioned on 1 August 1902. Holland 3 sank in trials in 1911 and was then sold on 7 October 1913.
In early August 1902 John Alfred Moreton was appointed to the submarine depot ship HMS Hazard, to take command of HM Submarine No.3.[2]
Along with Holland 5, she was one of the first two submarines to be accepted into Royal Navy service on 19 January 1903.[3] However, by the time she was launched she was already considered obsolete and thirteen A-class submarines had already been ordered.[4]
