The first USS ''T-1'' (SS-52/SF-1) was an in the service of the United States Navy; ''T-1'' was also known as ''Schley'' and ''AA-1''. She was laid down as USS ''Schley'' on 21 June 1916 at the Fore River Shipbuilding Company yard in Quincy, Massachusetts by the Electric Boat Co. of New York, renamed ''AA-1'' on 23 August 1917 to free the name ''Schley'' for a destroyer, launched on 25 July 1918, sponsored by Mrs. Lilian Hovey-King, and commissioned on 30 January 1920 at Boston, Massachusetts with Lt. Comdr James Parker, Jr. in command. ''AA-1'' was one of three boats designed and constructed under a project charged with developing fleet submarines; that is, undersea boats possessing the sea-keeping qualities and endurance capability required for long-range operations, as scouts for the surface fleet. On 17 July 1920, while the submarine was being fitted-out, the Navy adopted its modern system of alpha-numeric hull numbers, and the fleet submarine was designated SF-1. On 20 September, she was renamed ''T-1''. Thus, by the time she began active service that fall, she was known as ''T-1'' (SF-1). ''T-1''s commissioned service lasted less than three years. She operated out of Hampton Roads, Virginia, training crews and conducting maneuvers along the east coast with other units of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet. Throughout the entire period, she remained a unit of Submarine Division 15. However, during her service, flaws in her design and construction—particularly in her propulsion plant—became apparent. On 5 December 1922, ''T-1'' was placed out of commission and laid up at the Submarine Base, Hampton Roads, Va. Later, she was moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. After almost eight years of inactivity, her name was struck from the Navy list on 19 September 1930. Her hulk was broken up, and the materials were sold for scrap on 20 November 1930. ==See also== * List of United States Navy submarines * List of ship launches in 1918 * List of ship commissionings in 1920 * List of ship decommissionings in 1922 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「USS T-1 (SS-52)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
