USS G-2, a 400-ton Lake-type submarine, was built under contract with the Lake Torpedo Boat Company and completed by the New York Navy Yard. She was originally named Tuna, but was renamed G-2 in November 1911, prior to her launching. Commissioned in February 1915, she operated along the Atlantic coast for the next year, then received a lengthy shipyard overhaul. G-2 returned to the active fleet in late June 1917. She primarily spent the remainder of her service career on experimental and training assignments, based at New London, Connecticut, and Boston, Massachusetts, though she briefly conducted anti-submarine patrols in the Long Island Sound area in mid-1918. USS G-2 was decommissioned in April 1919 and subsequently used for depth charge and ordnance net tests. After accidently sinking off the Connecticut coast on 30 July 1919, she was left where she rested.
