R-1 (SS-78)
R-1 in an unknown location, likely on the U.S. east coast, 1940-1945. R-1 had sat in reserve in Philadelphia, decommissioned between 1931 and 1940. As war loomed, the reserve O and R-class boats were reconditioned and put back into service. She served in a variety of unglamorous but vital roles, operating out of New London, Bermuda, Key West, and Casco Bay, Maine. She attacked and most likely damaged a German U-boat on April 16, 1942.
