The USS G-2 during her fitting out phase of construction. She is probably pretty close to being completed by the time this photo was taken. The small deck over the torpedo tube outer door has not been installed at this time. There is a man working over the side on the starboard side. He has his feet on a scaffolding board slung over the side and is crouched down. There is another workman going over the port side of the hull and a man standing on the top of the conning tower.





The USS G-2, quite possibly in Boaton. On 23 August 1917 she left New London for instructional and experimental operations working out of Boston off the Boston Lightship. With students embarked, she assisted in proving out submarine detection devices for the Experimental Board embarked in the USS Margaret, (a former U.S. Steam Yacht) later USS SP-524 and in performing experimental problems with the submarine chaser SC-6.


This is a hand tinted picture of the G-2.

  • Hand tinted crew close-up.

The USS G-2 diving. The location is not certain but could be a selection of places where she conducted practice cruises that found her at Norfolk, Charleston, New York, Newport, and Provincetown. The shoreline looks to be too high for Provincetown but may be the Newport area.

Note that the flag staff and flag have not been removed so this may have been a dive made for publicity purposes, down and back up again. It is definitely a test dive as the "fish flag" is being flown from the number two periscope.

This photo was originally identified as the G-4 but the error was caught by Dave Johnston and brought to our attention.



The bow of the USS G-2 as seen from the bridge. The date is unknown but could possibly be circa 1915 to 1919. There is little to no detail that could place the photo. She is possibly making a speed run of some sort.

  • On October 1, 1918 the USS G-2 ran hard aground on Bartlett Reef while performing experimental work on sound detection devices along with training for the newly established Submarine School in the area of Block Island and Long Island Sound. In October of 1918 she ran up onto Bartlett Reef between Niantic and New London Connecticut harbors.
  • USS G-2 hard aground on Bartlett Reef. Vessel in foreground is trying to render assistance. Probably trying to get a tow line aboard the G-2.

The USS G-2 crew portrait showing Commanding Officer, Lieutenant Joseph E. Austin in the front center with his dog. He is flanked by the six chiefs tallied in the notation on the photo. Only 17 of the 18 crew are seen. The 18th may have been the one taking the photo. Now, as then, "The 'Chiefs' ran the boat".
