The C-class submarines were five United States Navy submarines built by the Fore River Shipbuilding Company in Quincy, Massachusetts, under a subcontract from the Electric Boat Company. Built between 1906 and 1909, and in commission from 1908 to 1919, all five were subsequently sold for scrap in 1920. They were considerably larger than the preceding B-class at 275 long tons (279 t) submerged vs. 173 long tons (176 t) submerged, and were the first United States submarines with two-shaft propulsion, doubling the machinery of the B class.
