Photo #: NH 76004
USS Cheyenne (Monitor # 10)
With USS H-3 (Submarine # 30), USS H-1 (Submarine
# 28) and USS H-2 (Submarine # 29) alongside, probably
at San Diego, California, circa 1914-1917.
Note the submarines' 13-star "boat" flags, and the
numbers "23", "21" and "22", on
their periscope housings. The first digit of these numbers represents
the Second Torpedo Flotilla, to which they were assigned. The
second digit represents the individual submarine's name.
Also note the Sailor seated on Cheyenne's port anchor.
