USS C-2 (SS-13) was one of five C-class submarines built for the United States Navy in the first decade of the 20th century. DescriptionThe C-class submarines were enlarged versions of the preceding B class, the first American submarines with two propeller shafts. They had a length of {{convert|105|ft|3|in|m|1}} overall, a beam of {{convert|13|ft|10|in|m|1}} and a mean draft of {{convert|10|ft|10|in|m|1}}. They displaced {{convert|240|LT|t}} on the surface and {{convert|273|LT|t}} submerged. The C-class boats had a crew of 1 officer and 14 enlisted men. They had a diving depth of {{convert|200|ft|1}}.[1] For surface running, they were powered by two {{convert|240|bhp|lk=in|0|adj=on}} Craig gasoline engines, each driving one propeller shaft. When submerged each propeller was driven by a {{convert|115|hp|0|adj=on}} electric motor. They could reach {{convert|11|kn|lk=in}} on the surface and {{convert|9|kn}} underwater. On the surface, the boats had a range of {{convert|776|nmi|lk=in}} at {{convert|8.13|kn}} and {{convert|24|nmi|abbr=on}} at {{convert|8|kn}} submerged.[1] The boats were armed with two 18 inch (450 mm) torpedo tubes in the bow. They carried two reloads, for a total of four torpedoes.[2] Construction and careerC-2 was laid down by Fore River Shipbuilding Company in Quincy, Massachusetts — under a subcontract from Electric Boat Company — as USS Stingray. She was launched on 8 April 1909 sponsored by Ms. Elizabeth Stevens, and commissioned on 23 November 1909, Ensign E. B. Armstrong in command. She was renamed USS C-2 on 17 November 1911. C-2 — assigned to the Atlantic Torpedo Fleet and later the Atlantic Submarine Flotilla — cruised along the East Coast until 20 May 1913, when she cleared Norfolk, Virginia for six months of operations from Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. In December, she reported at Cristóbal, Colón, Panama, and began an operating schedule of torpedo practice, exploration of anchorages, and harbor defense duty at ports of the Panama Canal Zone. During the latter part of World War I, C-2 patrolled the Florida coast. The submarine was placed in ordinary at Coco Solo, Canal Zone on 22 August 1919, and was decommissioned on 23 December 1919. She was sold for scrap on 13 April 1920. Notes1. ^1 Friedman, p. 306 2. ^Gardiner & Gray, p. 127 References
