===1930–1946=== On 12 December 1930, ''R-14'' departed Pearl Harbor for the last time and headed back to the [[Atlantic Ocean|Atlantic]]. Proceeding via [[San Diego, California|San Diego]], [[California]], and the Panama Canal, she returned to New London on 9 February 1931, and through the end of the 1930s conducted training exercises for the Submarine School. In the spring of 1941, she moved down the [[East Coast of the United States]] to [[Key West, Florida]], her [[home port]] as of 1 June 1941. In the fall of 1941, she returned to New London for overhaul and on 22 November 1941 resumed operations from Key West. Into April 1945, she conducted training exercises for the Sound School and patrolled the [[Yucatán Channel]] and the [[Florida Straits]]. On 29 June 1943, [[United States Army Coast Artillery Corps]] guns at [[Fort Zachary Taylor]] mistook ''R-14'' for a German [[U-boat]] and opened fire on her while she was off Key West, but she suffered no damage.<ref>Hinman & Campbell, p. 166.</ref> On 25 April 1945, ''R-14'' departed Key West and headed north, and in early May 1945 she arrived at [[Philadelphia]], [[Pennsylvania]]. She was [[Ship decommissioning|decommissioned]] on 7 May 1945, struck from the [[Naval Vessel Register]] on 19 May 1945, and sold on 28 September 1945 to [[Rossoff Brothers]] of [[New York City]].
