This shot of the R-14 shows the gun placement. The R-14 is famous for an incident off Hawaii. Searching for the the sea-going tug Conestoga in May 1921, the R-14 ran out of fuel southeast of Hawaii. Sails were made by sewing blankets and mattress covers together forming sails. The submarine arrived in Hilo, Hawaii on May 15 after 5 days under sail.
The R-14 was a Fore River Shipbuilding Co, Quincy, MA built boat.

Adrix,

Para completar, o alvo da busca, o rebocador Conestoga, só foi localizado em 2009, perto de São Francisco. Parece que ele enfrentou uma forte tempestade logo após a partida e afundou com todos os seus tripulantes.
