Revision as of 13:34, 3 November 2023






The three remaining F-class submarines, most likely at Mare Island for inspection and repair, circa 1916. After the sinking of the F-4 the remaining F-class boats were ordered back to the mainland to be examined and overhauled before they would be permitted to dive again.

The right-hand submarine has had panels removed from both sides of its conning tower fairwater, exposing all the systems within it. She also has a deck plate propped up to access equipment within the superstructure.

The middle and left-hand submarines have had the superstructure removed over their engine mufflers and exhausts for some sort of maintenance.
