 The world's top v boats websites
Originally called USS V-1 through V-9 (SS-163 through SS-171), the nine submarines were renamed in 1931 as Barracuda, Bass, Bonita, Argonaut, Narwhal, Nautilus, Dolphin, Cachalot, and Cuttlefish, respectively.
In the early 1910s, only a dozen years after USS Holland (SS-1) inaugurated the Navy's undersea force, naval strategists had already begun to wish for submarines that could operate in closer collaboration with the surface fleet than the Navy's existing classes, which had been designed primarily for coastal defense.
Renamed Barracuda, Bass, and Bonita in 1931, they were decommissioned in 1937, and only the imminence of World War II provided a reprieve, in preparation for which they were recommissioned in September 1940.
