Plunger-class submarine
The ''Plunger'' class was an early class of United States Navy submarines, used primarily as training vessels for the newly formed "silent service" to familiarize navy personnel with the performance and operations of such craft. They were known as the "A-class" after being renamed to A-type designations (A-1 through A-7) on 17 November 1911. All except ''Plunger'' ended up being stationed in the Philippines, an American possession, prior to the outbreak of World War I. They were shipped there on colliers (coal-carrying ships). In some instances, this class of submarines is referred to as the ''Adder''-class submarine, as USS ''Adder'' was the first boat of the class to be completed.〔Gardiner, p. 127〕
== History ==
The ''Plunger''-class submarines were built at the beginning of the twentieth century largely as experimental vessels. The prototype, named Fulton, was later sold to Russia, and renamed Som. The Plunger class was built at two different locations on both coasts of the United States. The five East Coast boats were based at New Suffolk, New York along with until 1905, allowing New Suffolk to claim itself as the first submarine base in the United States.〔(cutchoguenewsuffolk.org history - Retrieved 2007-11-04 )〕 They were given alphanumeric hull classification symbols (SS-2, SS-3, etc.) on 17 July 1920, after all but ''Grampus'' (SS-4) and ''Pike'' (SS-6) had been decommissioned. All of the ''Plunger''-class ships were decommissioned by 1921 and used as targets. They were stricken from the Naval Vessel Register on 16 January 1922 and sold for scrap.〔Gardiner, p. 127〕
