German U boat
 

I have lived in this area the majority of my adult life and today in the Providence Journal I saw a story about a German sub anchored off rose Island . very interesting Story

As it approached the Brenton Reef Lightship, it requested permission to enter Newport Harbor, which was granted. From there, she sailed into port escorted by the American submarine D2 (Hull designation SS 18). The U-boat anchored near the U.S. Naval War College. among the Atlantic destroyer squadron near the USS Birmingham (Hull designation CS/CL 2), the flagship of Adm. Albert Gleaves.

Huh. Heard of the WWII activity but not that WW1 sub.

And then in 1918 there was the only action on US soil in WW1 (by a German U-boat)...
