		On 17 March 1898, the Holland, escorted by a tug, proceeded down the Raritan River for her initial submerged run in Raritan Bay.
		While the trials were generally successful, recurrent problems with her steering control were noted by the Board, which recommended that the Navy not acquire the Holland VI until successful completion of still more trials.
		With this task completed, much of the pressure on the Holland eased, for the six boats of this class were more than adequate to train their own replacement crew members as well as the crews of future new construction submarines.
