The early 8 cylinder 38A8 was superseded by a 1,365 BHP 8 cylinder 38D-8-1/8 and then by a 9 cylinder, 1,535 BHP 38D-8-1/8; wartime submarines (from SS 381 on) used a 10 cylinder, 1,600 BHP 38D-8-1/8.
It was decided to give them names starting with S. Apparently everyone forgot about the old S-type submarines still serving with the fleet, because the class numbers S-1 through S-16 assigned to the new fleet-type submarines duplicated names already held by some of the older S-boats.
This source of confusion was ultimately eliminated when the class numbering system was abolished in 1939 and the SS hull numbers were painted on the conning tower fairwater for peacetime identification.
