Photo #: NH 52201
USS K-8 (Submarine # 39)
Exterior conning station and periscopes.
These long and short 2½ to 5-inch diameter Kollmorgen
Type C periscopes were obtained under a contract dated 23 October
1916 and subsequently installed at the Pearl Harbor Navy Yard.
The photograph may have been taken there in late 1916 or in 1917.
The evaluation of both of these non-housing periscopes (which
had Submarine Periscope Registry Numbers 167 for the shorter
unit, and 168 for the longer) was "A fairly good instrument".
