	McGrogan's Patch Designs US NAVY DIESEL SUBMARINE SS-166 USS ARGONAUT PATCH LOST BOAT
		MC GROGAN'S US NAVY SS-166 USS ARGONAUT PATCH "LOST BOAT" SS-166 V-4 Argonaut Displacing 4,164 tons (submerged), USS V-4, later Argonaut (SS-1662), was both the largest submarine the Navy ever built before the advent of nuclear power and the only U.S. submarine specifically designed as a minelayer.
		The Argonaut (SS-166), originally intended for a minelaying mission, was authorized in the FY1925 program and laid down in May 1925 as V-4.
		Her configuration, and that of the two V-class boats that followed – USS V-5 and USS V-6 – resulted from an evolving strategic concept that increasingly emphasized the possibility of a naval war with Japan in the far western Pacific.
