USS Fulton (Submarine Tender No. 1) Probably shown in late 1917 with four "L"-class submarines alongside. The sub with her radio mast raised is probably the Lake-type L-8, the other three are Holland-type boats just before deploying to Europe. Fulton now has two 3"/50 guns on the forecastle in place of the torpedo tubes. Photo No. NH 105912 Source: U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command |

USS Fulton (PG-49) At Hong Kong after burning at sea on 14 March 1934. She was towed into Junk Bay near Hong Kong by a British naval tug after a British destroyer and a merchantman rescued her crew. The wooden pilot house was completely destroyed by the intense fire and much of the rest of the ship was gutted. Her forward 3"/50 AA gun, however, survived unscathed.
