134 The USS S-48, built in 1921, was possibly the only submarine to find peril in a heavy snowstorm. She was returning home to Portsmouth, Connecticut, on the night of January 29, 1925. At about 6:30 P.M. off the coast of New Hampshire, the wind picked up and heavy snow started falling. With visibility zeroed, she ran onto the rocks off Jeffery Point, rolled off, then grounded again in Little Harbor. Early next morning, still stuck and listing badly, the battery compartment started taking water, and the ensuing electrolysis action broke down the salt water and released chlorine gas inside the sub. The Coast Guard picked up the crew an hour and a half later, and they were transferred to the hospital at Fort Stark for treatment.
