USS Cuttlefish, a 145-ton Viper class submarine built at Quincy, Massachusetts, was commissioned in October 1907. For the next three years she was employed on test and training duties along the U.S. East Coast. In May 1911 Cuttlefish joined the Reserve Torpedo Group, based at Charleston, South Carolina. She was renamed B-2 in November of that year. In November 1912 the submarine was loaded on board the collier Ajax for transportation to the Philippines. She arrived in Manila Bay in late April and, following reconditioning, was commissioned for Asiatic Fleet service in early August 1913. B-2 remained in the Philippines for the rest of her career and was decommissioned in December 1919. In July 1920 she was given the hull number SS-11 and two months later was assigned to target duty. USS B-2 was stricken from the Navy list in January 1922.
