Submarine, American (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • B-59 said:
    This photo ran in The Sunday Oregonian, July 15, 1917, SECTION FIVE, Image 59 with the caption: "SUBMARINES of the United States Navy are painted in stripes of green to to give them "low visibility."' In this guise they are not so easily seen at long range as though they were painted in a solid colot. It is reported that the German submarines are painted irregularly in a variety of colors to make them merge with the water." oregonnews.uoregon.edu/lccn/sn83045782/1917-07-15/ed-1/se...

    This is the USS K-2 (SS-33) in "Zebra-camouflage" (perhaps a more primative form of dazzle-paint or dazzle-camouflage), off "Pensacola, Florida on 12 April, 1916," as per the NavSource Archives. See: www.navsource.org/archives/08/08492.htm See also: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_K-2_(SS-33)
  • Anne (LOC P&P) said:
    B-59 and TVL1970: Thanks for further identification here. We will include the more complete information in the description next time we update.

  • The Library of Congress said:
    Kayak49: Sorry for a delayed reply. We'll fix the date and appreciate your providing the fuller history of the boat.
  • perfgeek said:
    And yet if we had kept many more of the ships, there would likely be no place to put them !-) Looks like she was drawing only 4' of water at the bow at launch and expected to draw 7' when complete. Shame we cannot see the full first name of the photographer - my _guess_ would be George W. Lord but that is just a shot in the dark for the first name.
