Seamen aboard a submarine, possibly a U-boat. The destroyer in the background is pennant number H65. Photograph PBIB_NAV_423 was probably taken the same time, placing this photograph at Harwich between November 1918 and May 1919.
The destroyer HMS LURCHER carried number H65 1 January 1918 to early 1919 [Wikipedia]. The profile of the vessel looks right, so it helps confirm the date of this photograph.
Date: c1919
