USS R-3 (SS-80) was an R-class coastal and harbor defense submarine of the United States Navy. Her keel was laid down on 11 December 1917 by the Fore River Shipbuilding Company in Quincy, Massachusetts. She was launched on 18 January 1919 sponsored by Mrs. Charles G. McCord, and commissioned on 17 April 1919 at Boston, Massachusetts, with Lieutenant Commander Allen Herschel Guthrie in command.
After shakedown off the Massachusetts coast, R-3 was assigned to Submarine Division 9 at New London, Connecticut. She departed New London with the coaling ship USS Camden on 4 December 1919 for Norfolk, Virginia and a winter deployment with the division in the Gulf of Mexico from 13 January to 27 March 1920. R-3 returned to New London on 18 May for four months of summer exercises with R-1 and R-2. Given hull classification symbol SS-80 in July, she sailed on 13 September for Norfolk and overhaul.
R-3 was transferred to the Pacific with Division 9 on 8 April, transited the Panama Canal on 28 May, and arrived 30 June at her new base, San Pedro, California. After operating for two years in California waters, she was transferred 16 July 1923 to Pearl Harbor where she was stationed for the next years, engaging in training and operations with fleet units.
