EDITORS COMMENTS
"This historic photograph captures the imposing presence of the Fleet Submarine V2, a groundbreaking maritime vessel that revolutionized underwater warfare in the early 20th century. Built by the United States Navy in 1925, this submarine was the largest of its kind at the time, measuring 311 feet in length and displacing over 2,000 tons. The V2 was a significant improvement from its predecessors, boasting advanced features such as improved engine power and greater submerged speed. The submarine's impressive size and capabilities were a testament to the Navy's commitment to advancing naval technology and expanding its underwater fleet. The V2 was designed to carry a crew of up to 60 sailors and soldiers, making it a formidable force both on the surface and underwater. With a top speed of 14 knots while surfaced and 12 knots while submerged, the V2 was a versatile and powerful vessel. The image shows the submarine's sleek and imposing silhouette, with its conning tower and periscope jutting out from the water's surface. Soldiers can be seen standing at attention on the deck, ready to man the submarine's weapons and equipment. The photograph captures the sense of anticipation and excitement that surrounded the commissioning of this remarkable vessel, which would go on to serve with distinction in the US Navy's fleet. This photograph is a rare and valuable glimpse into the history of naval warfare and the evolution of submarine technology. It is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the engineers, sailors, and soldiers who designed, built, and operated these remarkable vessels. The Fleet Submarine V2 remains an enduring symbol of American naval power and innovation." Image Source: ILN - Consolidated Archive Holdings Ltd - Project from Mary Evans Prints Online.
