Harbor Defense, Coastal Defense, and Concept Development Submarines

What the U.S. Navy wanted in a submarine changed rapidly and often during the 1900-1933 years. These boats filled several different roles while the Navy refined the strategic and tactical concepts of submarine operations. All of these boats contributed something to this effort, although not all were successful.
