Diving into history: general characteristics, operational triumphs, and the vessels of the F-Class Submarines
With F-1 and F-2 produced by Union Iron Works and F-3 and F-4 by The Moran Company, the F-class submarines, which were designed by Electric Boat in 1909, demonstrated a distributed production method. They played an important role in Pacific marine operations, with a top speed of 13.5 knots surfaced, but tragically, the F-4 was lost in 1915.
