EspañolUSS D-2 (SS-18)
(Redirected from USS Grayling (SS-18))
'USS ''D-2'' (SS-18)' was a ''D''-class submarine of the United States Navy. Her keel was laid down by Fore River Shipbuilding Company in Quincy, Massachusetts, under a subcontract from Electric Boat Company of Groton, Connecticut, as ''Grayling'', making her the first ship of the United States Navy to be named for the Arctic grayling, a fresh-water game fish closely related to the trout. ''Grayling'' was launched on 16 June 1909, sponsored by Miss C. H. Bowles, and commissioned on 23 November 1909 with Lieutenant Owen Hill in command. She was renamed ''D-2'' on 17 November 1911.
''D-2'' joined the Atlantic Torpedo Fleet as Flagboat for Submarine Division 3. Along the Atlantic coast, ''D-2'' joined in diving, torpedo, and experimental exercises. She participated in the Presidential Review of the Fleet in North River, New York City, from 5 May to 18 May 1915.
During World War I, ''D-2'' served in training and experimental work at New London, Connecticut. She was placed in commission, in reserve, at Philadelphia Navy Yard on 9 September 1919 and placed in ordinary 15 July 1921. Towed to Philadelphia Navy Yard, she was decommissioned 18 January 1922 and sold as a hulk 25 September 1922.
