Control Force submarines and their tenders at Christobal, Panama
Canal Zone, circa 1923.
The tenders are (from left to right): Savannah (AS-8),
Bushnell (AS-2), Beaver (AS-5) and Camden
(AS-6). Submarines are mostly "R" type boats, among
them R-23 (SS-100) and R-25 (SS-102), both in the
nest alongside Savannah's port quarter. The larger submarine
alongside Savannah's bow may be S-1 (SS-105), with
her large seaplane hangar.
