		The first submarine to utilize the potential of both the nuclear power plant and the high-speed Albacore hull was USS Skipjack, SSN-585, which was officially rated at 29 knots submerged.
		The class had some teething problems, but the 62 boats in the class demonstrated respectable performance, with submerged speeds in excess of 30 knots.

	X class submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The X class was a World War II midget submarine class built for the Royal Navy during 1943–44.

		This class of submarine was later featured in the 1969 movie Submarine X-1 starring James Caan as a Royal Navy officer who after losing his submarine and fifty crew members in a battle with a German ship during WWII, gets a second chance training crews to take part in a raid using midget subs.

	World War II American Submarine List
		The majority are fleet-type submarines, but a number of older type boats also served, mostly in training and rear-area billets, though many of the S-Boats saw combat, and a number of R-Boats were employed on patrols in low activity areas.
		There are gaps in some of the number sequences, either because the boats were canceled before commissioning, or because, while ordered and laid down during the war, they weren't commissioned until after 2 September 1945 and thus did not see actual service during World War II.
