The T-Boats

USS T-1 SS 52 (ex-Schley, ex- AA-1)
Photo taken Sept. 8, 1919 off Provincetown, Mass.

SCHLEY (Submarine No. 52) was laid down on 21 June 1916
at the Fore River Shipbuilding Co. yard in Quincy, Mass., by
the Electric Boat Co. of New York; renamed AA-1 on 23 August
1917 to free the name Schley for Destroyer No. 103; launched
on 25 July 1918; sponsored by Mrs. Lilian Hovey-King; and
commissioned on 30 January 1920 at Boston, Mass.; Lt. Comdr.
James Parker, Jr., in command.

AA-1 was one of three boats designed and constructed
under a project charged with developing fleet submarines;
that is, undersea boats possessing the sea keeping qualities
and endurance capability required for long-range operations,
as scouts for the surface fleet. On 17 July 1920, while the
submarine was being fitted-out, the Navy adopted its modern
system of alpha-numeric hull numbers, and the fleet
submarine was designated SF-1. On 20 September, she was
renamed T-1. Thus, by the time she began active service
that fall, she was known as T-1 (SF-1).

USS T-1

This photo is believed to be the launch photo of the
USS T-2 (AA-2), September 6, 1919.
This has been done by comparison with the photo below.
This could also be the T-3. I have no T-3 photos to compare with.

Crew eating in the Control room of the USS T-3
This is just a best guess since the T-1, T-2 & T-3 were the only subs with a test depth of 150 feet
and that is what the depth guage is clibrated to in this picture. The submarine was in service until 1927.
