Prototype "fleet submarines"—submarines fast enough (21 knots (11 m/s)) to travel with battleships. Twice the size of any concurrent or past U.S. submarine. A poor tandem engine design caused the boats to be decommissioned by 1923 and scrapped in 1930.
The submarine is equipped with an S6G reactor that allows 15 knots surfaced and 32 plus knots submerged. The submarine can operate with an approximate 800 feet (240 m) depth range, 1,200 feet (370 m) safe depth, and 1,800 feet (550 m) crush depth. Jacksonville has a crew of 12 officers and 121 enlisted personnel.
