[edit] Submarines and ships
A range of prototype and commissioned submarines were designed and built by, or named for, John Philip Holland. The prototypes were designated using the Roman numerals (I-VI). It should be noted that the Holland VI prototype became the USS Holland, the first US Navy submarine. The British Royal Navy submarines based on designs by Holland were designated using the Arabic numerals (1-6).
