MORE INFORMATION: USS Argonaut (SF-7/SM-1/APS-1/SS-166(Never formally held this classification)) was a submarine of the United States Navy, the first ship 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 W.M. Quigley in command. V-4 was the first of the second generation of V-boats commissioned in the late 1920s, which remain the largest non-nuclear submarines ever built by the U.S. These submarines were exempt by special agreement from the armament and tonnage limitations of the Washington Treaty. V-4 and her sisters V-5 (Narwhal) and V-6 (Nautilus) were designed with larger and more powerful diesel engines than those which had propelled the earlier series of V-boats, which had proven to be failures. Unfortunately, the specially-built engines failed to produce their design power and some developed dangerous crankshaft explosions. V-4 and her sister ships were slow in diving and, when submerged, were unwieldy and slower than designed. They also presented an excellent target to surface ship sonar and had a large turning radius. Designed primarily as a minelayer, and built at a cost of US$6,150,000,[9] V-4 was the first and only such specialized type ever built by the United States. She had four torpedo tubes forward and two minelaying tubes aft. At the time of construction, V-4 was the largest submarine ever built in the United States, and was the largest in U.S. Navy service for thirty years.[9] Her minelaying arrangements were “highly ingenious, but extremely complicated”,[9] filling two aft compartments.[9] A compensating tube ran down the center of the two spaces, to make up for the lost weight as mines were laid, as well as to store eight additional mines.[9] The other mines were racked in three groups around this tube, two in the fore compartment, one aft,[9] with a hydraulically driven rotating cage between them.[9] Mines were moved by hydraulic worm shafts, the aft racks connecting directly to the launch tubes,[9] which had vertically-sliding hydraulic doors[9] (rather than the usual hinged ones of torpedo tubes). Each launch tube was normally loaded with four mines,[9] and a water ’round mines (WRM) tube flooded to compensate as they were laid, then pumped into the compensating tube.[10] Eight mines could be laid in 10 minutes.[11] World War II On 28 November 1941, Argonaut, commanded by Stephen G. Barchet, left Pearl Harbor and was on patrol near Midway Island when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. After sunset on 7 December, Argonaut surfaced and heard naval gunfire around Midway. It was assumed the Japanese were landing a large invasion force. Argonaut then submerged to make a sonar approach to the “invasion force.” While designed to be a minelayer and not an attack submarine, Argonaut made the first wartime approach on enemy naval forces. The “invasion force” turned out to be two Japanese destroyers whose mission was shore bombardment on Midway. The ships may have detected Argonaut, and one passed close by the submarine. They completed the bombardment then retired before Argonaut could make a second approach. One week later, Argonaut made contact with three or four Japanese destroyers. Barchet wisely decided not to attack. On 22 January 1942, she returned to Pearl Harbor and, after a brief stop, proceeded to Mare Island Naval Shipyard for major overhaul. While there, her diesels were replaced with Winton 12-258Ss[11] and her minelaying gear was removed.[9] She was also fitted with a Torpedo Data Computer[11] (lack of which likely inhibited her ability to score with torpedoes), new electronics,[11] and two external torpedo tubes for storage.[11] On return to Pearl Harbor, she was “hastily converted” to a troop transport submarine.[11] Argonaut returned to action in the South Pacific in August. Admiral Chester W. Nimitz assigned Argonaut and Nautilus to transport and land Marine Raiders on Makin Island in the Gilbert Islands for the Makin Raid. This move was designed to relieve pressure on American forces that had just landed on Guadalcanal. On 8 August, the two submarines embarked 120[11] troops of Companies A and B, 2d Raider Battalion, and got underway for Makin. Conditions during the transit were unpleasant, and most of the marines became seasick. The convoy arrived off Makin on 16 August, and at 0330 the next day, the marines began landing. Their rubber rafts were swamped by the sea and most of the outboard motors drowned. The Japanese, either forewarned or extraordinarily alert, were ready for the Americans’ arrival. Snipers were hidden in the trees, and the landing beaches were in front of the Japanese forces instead of behind them as planned. However, by midnight of 18 August, the Japanese garrison of about 85 men was wiped out; radio stations, fuel, and other supplies and installations were destroyed, and all but 30 of the troops had been recovered. {21 KIA + 9 captured/executed} Sinking Argonaut arrived back in Pearl Harbor on 26 August. Her hull classification symbol was changed from SM-1 to APS-1 (transport submarine) on 22 September. She was never formally designated SS-166, but that hull number was reserved for her.[2] Her base of operations was transferred to Brisbane, Queensland, later in the year. In December, she departed Brisbane under Lieutenant Commander John R. Pierce to patrol the hazardous area between New Britain and Bougainville Island, south of Bismarck Archipelago. On 2 January 1943, Argonaut sank a Japanese gunboat “Ebon Maru” in the Bismark sea. See.[13] On 10 January 1943, Argonaut spotted a convoy of five freighters and their escorts – Maikaze, Isokaze, and Hamakaze – returning to Rabaul from Lae. By chance, an army aircraft, which was out of bombs, was flying overhead and witnessed Argonaut’s attack. A crewman onboard the plane saw one destroyer hit by a torpedo, and the destroyers promptly counterattack. Argonaut’s bow suddenly broke the water at an unusual angle. It was apparent that a depth charge had severely damaged the submarine. The destroyers continued circling Argonaut and pumping shells into her. She slipped below the waves and was never heard from again. 105 officers and men went down with her, the worst loss of life for a wartime submarine.[11] Her name was stricken from the Naval Vessel Register on 26 February 1943. Japanese reports made available at the end of the war recorded a depth charge attack followed by gunfire, at which time they “destroyed the top of the sub”. On the basis of the report given by the Army flier who witnessed the attack in which Argonaut perished, she was credited with damaging a Japanese destroyer on her last patrol. (Postwar, the JANAC accounting gave her none.) Since histories of none of the three escorting destroyers report damage on 10 January; the destroyer “hit” may have been a premature explosion.
