My Grandfather [USNA Class of ‘23] was stationed on the S-51, which sunk off of Block Island in 1925 after colliding with a commercial ship “City Of Rome”. It sank in minutes.
However, by sheer luck, he was not on the duty roster that night [they had rotating duty rosters selected each day alphabetically] - having missed the cut by four names.
Anyway, about five sailors got out - of which only three survived.
