Happy Birthday Submariners! National Submarine Day, commemorates the acquisition of the U.S. Navyβs first modern submarine, USS Holland (SS-1) in 1900. She was designed by inventor John Phillip Holland and built in Elizabeth, New Jersey, and commissioned in the US Navy on Oct. 12, 1900, at Newport, Rhode Island. Holland was the first submarine with the seakeeping ability and endurance to conduct long transits, and the power to run submerged for any considerable distance. She had a six-man crew and could dive and maintain a depth of 75 feet. #submarine #fastattack #fastattackleadership #submariner #usnavy https://www.instagram.com/p/CNiDvs6DuIk/?igshid=1usj145dias2y
