Description: Waterfront and covered shipways, circa summer-fall 1927. USS V-4 (SM-1) and USS V-5 (SC-1) are under construction in inside shipways building. V-4 (later renamed Argonaut) is on the nearer way and appears to be nearly ready for her launching, which took place on 10 November 1927. V-5 (later renamed Narwhal) is in a much earlier stage of construction, having been laid down on 10 May 1927. USS S-13 (SS-118) and another S-type submarine are alongside the waterfront, at left. Note automobiles parked in the center and right. Courtesy of Lieutenant Gustave Freret, USN (Retired), 1970. U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command Photograph.
