O-10 pulling in to moor, with a destroyer to starboard, date and location unknown but the date is likely the early 1920's. The vessel in the background is a Lapwing-class minesweeper, possibly one that was primarily engaged in submarine rescue and salvage work.

O-10 and two sister boats moored to the submarine tender USS Camden (AS-6). The location is not known, but it is likely the Panama area in the mid 1920's. Out of view to the right are three more O-boats, including the O-8 (SS-69).
