| Short Description | Inter-war years, USN built 9 subs to test different designs against needs for a future cross-Pacific war. Experiment produced template for WW II Fleet Boat. Capt. Mark McDonagh, USN/ret., NSDM staff |
| Long Description | World War I was over, the first war that saw significant submarine combat. World navies’ sub forces were outdated & inadequate, they sought to understand lessons of WW I & incorporate them, with their own strategic needs, into a next generation of sub designs. The US Navy built 9 operational subs of 5 different designs to test capabilities & limitations against their needs for a future conflict across the Pacific. V-1 through V-9 were not given individual names or class designations initially, had dissimilar sizes, ranges & endurances. These allowed the USN to hone in on a Fleet Boat design that served as the template for the hundreds of combat submarines that strangled the Japanese home islands in World War II. Lecture by Capt. Mark McDonagh, USN/ret., former submarine officer with 12 years' experience at the Naval War College, on the National Security Decision Making Game staff. |
