USS H-2 (Submarine # 29)
Partially submerged in the Hudson River, while on recruiting
duty at New York City, 6 October 1919.
At about that time, while commanded by Lieutenant Commander Clark
Withers, she "performed the remarkable feat of sending a
wireless message while submerged".
Note the submarine "fish" flag atop her periscope.
