Submarines nested together, May 1920
Alongside USS Camden (Submarine Tender # 6), in the North
River, New York City.
They are, from near to far (left to right):
USS R-4 (Submarine # 81);
USS R-5 (Submarine # 82);
USS R-6 (Submarine # 83);
USS R-10 (Submarine # 87);
USS R-9 (Submarine # 86);
USS R-8 (Submarine # 85);
USS R-7 (Submarine # 84);
USS R-3 (Submarine # 80);
USS S-4 (Submarine # 109); and
USS S-3 (Submarine # 108).
Note that all the "R" class submarines have gun platforms,
but that guns are fitted only on R-10 and R-3.
S-4 has a platform for a 4"/50 gun (but no gun is
installed), while S-3 still has no gun platform.
