USS Holland (AS-3) Lifting the bow of USS S-4 circa late 1926. A chain was passed arouond the bow of the submarine and the port hook in Holland's clipper bow then lifted it. The event, possibly a test of the procedure, took place between the tender's commissioning in June 1926 and S-4's departure for the Atlantic in February 1927.
