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.
