USS Shark

From Warlike




USS Shark/A-7 (SS-8), also known as "Submarine Torpedo Boat No. 8", was one of seven Plunger-class submarines built for the United States Navy (USN) in the first decade of the 20th century. She was the third boat of the USN to be named for the shark. Used primarily for training, she was transported to the Philippines, in 1908. During WWI she served as harbor defense in Manila Bay.
