USS <i>Argonaut</i> (SM-1)

USS Argonaut (V-4/SF-7/SM-1/A-1/APS-1/SS-166) was a submarine of the United States Navy, the first boat to carry the name. Argonaut was laid down as V-4 on 1 May 1925 at Portsmouth Navy Yard. She was launched on 10 November 1927, sponsored by Mrs. Philip Mason Sears, the daughter of Rear Admiral William D. MacDougall, and commissioned on 2 April 1928, Lieutenant Commander William M. Quigley in command. Although never officially designated as "SS-166", at some point she displayed this number on her conning tower.

V-boat

The V-boats were a group of nine United States Navy submarines built between World War I and World War II from 1921 to 1934. These were not a ship class in the usual sense of a series of nearly identical ships built from the same design, but shared authorization under the "fleet boat" program. The term "V-boats" as used includes five separate classes of submarines. They broke down into three large, fast fleet submarines, three large long-range submarines, and three medium-sized submarines. The successful fleet submarines of World War II were descended from the last three, especially V-7, though somewhat larger with pure diesel-electric propulsion systems.
