Talk:United States E-class submarine

E-6
The Hobart Mercury of 17th January 1916 carries this report:

''NAVAL DISASTER ''U.S.A. SUBMARINE LOST. ''BLOWN UP IN DOCK. ''TWENTY OF THE CREW KILLED. ''NEW YORK, January 15.

''The United States submarine E6 (400 tons, speed of l4 knots on surface, six submerged, four torpedo-tubes) was blown up and sunk in the Brooklyn naval yards hist night, and 20 of the crew aro believed to have been killed. The cause of the disaster was an internal explosion, but it is not known how it happened''

Does this indicate that there were more than two of this type around? Albatross2147 (talk) 02:06, 8 February 2009 (UTC)


 * This was actually USS E-2 (SS-25), see the article for details. It was a hydrogen explosion during "severe" (presumably high-amperage) battery testing. The vessel was eventually repaired and returned to service. RobDuch (talk) 04:44, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
