Description:

The Tang class submarines were the first generation postwar diesel attack submarines. Unlike the K class which were prototypes for a wartime simplified “ambush submarines”, the Tang class were fully-grown attack submarines integrating as many lessons from the U Boat Type XXI as possible. They were the cradle of many innovations in the US Navy, with a new streamline hull and sail, and new compact “pancake” diesels which proved unreliable however and had to be changed rapidly. With their Fairbank-Morse diesels (which necessitated to lenghten them up) they were modernized and “jumboized” a second time in the 1970s to adopt the new PUFF Sonar system.
