The Subchaser Archives is a naval history collection devoted to the 110' submarine chasers of the Great War and the men who served on them, primarily covering 1917 to 1919.

For March, here's a moment-in-time shot, a subchaser crewman in the middle of throwing a line. This might be SC 227. It's one of many chaser photos in the collection of George Perley Morse, CO of submarine chaser SC 227.

Subchaser.org Editor's note: Scans of the document Instructions and Doctrine for Sub Chaser Detachment On are available in the Document Archives section. As German U-boats came on the scene in WWI, the U.S. scrambled to put together the Sub Chaser fleet.

Benson's remarks as captured here are fully consistent with the U.S. position: There was a clear, deliberate effort in developing the subchaser force to wage an offensive against submarines, and not to use the boats for other purposes.
