USS H-7, a 358-ton H-4 class submarine commissioned in November 1918, had originally been fabricated at Groton, Connecticut, for the Russian Navy. However, when the Russian revolution prevented delivery the disassembled submarine was sold to the U.S. Government in May 1918 and completed at the Puget Sound Navy Yard, Bremerton, Washington. Serving with Submarine Divisions 6 and 7, H-7 operated along the West Coast for nearly all of her brief active career. She was designated SS-150 in July 1920 and, in the summer of 1922 was sent through the Panama Canal to the Atlantic Coast. Decommissioned in October 1922, H-7 was laid up until February 1931, when she was stricken from the Navy Register. She was sold for scrapping in November 1933.
