  USS Tiru Guppy Submarine
Tiru was completed as a Guppy II in 1948, then refitted as a Guppy III in 1959.
Guppy (greater underwater propulsive power), a U.S. Navy program to upgrade the underwater speed and endurance of existing boats, was stimulated by studies of captured German Type XXI submarines.
Beginning in 1959, nine of the Guppy IIs underwent refitting as Guppy IIIs with lengthened hulls to accommodate new sonar and electronics.

Almost immediately after these conversions, the GUPPY II program commenced, which added the installation of a snorkel system that allowed the diesel engines to be operated while the boat was at periscope depth.
By GUPPY III conversation the boats were extended for more battery space and the sail was changed to fiberglass.

 Greater Underwater Propulsion Power Program - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The GUPPY II conversion (SCB 47), implemented from 1947 to 1951, was generally similar to the GUPPY I, except for the retention of both periscopes and the introduction of the recently perfected snorkel.
GUPPY IB was an informal designation for a limited upgrade and modernization given to four boats for transfer to foreign navies.
All 24 GUPPY II boats were originally slated to receive the GUPPY III upgrade, but budgetary constraints limited the program to a total of nine boats.

 USS Greenfish
Various exercises along the American coast and in the Caribbean occupied Greenfish until 8 January 1948, when she entered the Electric Boat Co. yards for GUPPY (Greater Underwater Propulsion Power) conversion.
This conversion included the installation of snorkeling equipment on Greenfish to enable her to steam on diesel engines while submerged, which required the enlargement of her "sail." In addition, more batteries were installed to increase her submerged speed and permit the ship to remain completely submerged for longer periods.
The new GUPPY submarine was attached to the Pacific Fleet, and sailed for Pearl Harbor 23 October.

 USN Ships--USS Volador (SS-490)
Work resumed in mid-1947 to a revised design that turned her into a much improved "Guppy II" submarine, with streamlined hull and sail, more powerful electric propulsion system and a snorkel, thus greatly increasing her underwater performance.
Over the next thirteen years she made four deployments to the Western Pacific, including one during the Korean War, and one cruise to Alaskan waters, as well as maintaining a regular program of operations along the U.S. West Coast and in Hawaiian waters.
In 1962-1963 Volador was again modernized under the "Guppy III" program, which lengthened her hull and gave her up-to-date sonar and other electronic equipment.

Homeported at Pearl Harbor and attached to Submarine Squadron (SubRon) 12, the "Guppy" submarine operated in Hawaiian waters for a year and one-half before conducting a 12-day snorkel voyage from Pearl Harbor to the west coast which ended upon her arrival at San Diego on 27 June 1950.
Operating with the 7th Fleet from 1 January to 17 April 1959, on her seventh WestPac tour, TIRU returned to Pearl Harbor for a major overhaul, entering the shipyard on 4 May 1959 for a fleet rehabilitation and modernization (FRAM) conversion to a "Guppy" III.

Laid down on February 8, 1944, work on her construction was discontinued after her launch on December 15, 1944 and her unfinished hulk remained on the ways.
Construction was resumed almost 3 years later and the submarine was finished according to the Guppy II conversion program.

Commissioned in April 1949, Pickerel was sent to the Pacific in August and spent her U.S. Navy operational career in that ocean.
She was given a "GUPPY III" modernization in 1962 that lengthened her hull and visibly gave her a larger "sail" and three prominent "PUFFS" sonar fins.

Upon her return, she was placed "in commission, in reserve" while undergoing FRAM Mk I conversion to a Guppy III configuration at the San Francisco Naval Shipyard.
The submarine was saved from possible total destruction due to a spectacular pier fire at the shipyard on 9 and 10 November 1962 by the duty section led by the duty officer and the executive officer.

 Stories of USS CUBERA SS-347
Imagine my surprise one night, when towards the end of the 1955 monster-flick "It Came from Beneath the Sea", there was the SS347 sailing back to San Francisco after dispatching the "giant" stop-action animated octopus that Ray Harryhausen created for the film.
The sleek Guppy sub was supposedly the latest "atomic" sub, and locked out through the forward escape trunk two aqualung divers who delivered the knockout punch up-close and personal.
At an officer's party in our first port-of-call, Barcelona, Captain Shanahan (slightly under the influence) wagered the Admiral in command of the U. naval forces that the silent Guppy sub CUBERA could "sink" the then brand-new nuclear carrier Enterprise (CVN65), the Admiral's flagship.

After VJ Day, some of these submarines were modified to embody the lessons learned during the conflict.
One of only nine boats converted to a Guppy III configuration, and the sole survivor of these vessels, Clamagore represents the continued adaptation and use of war-built diesel submarines by the Navy for the first two decades of the Cold War.
The Guppy submarines, like Clamagore, comprised the bulk of the United States submarine force through the mid-1960s.

Jim Christley has conducted extensive research on the GUPPY program and most of the information contained here is the result of his tireless efforts.  Jim writes that after the war the Navy obtained two German Type XXI boats.  These were studied and tested extensively. 
   A history of events leading up to the Guppy conversions indicates the following:  According to Christley's article, "Why is there a "Y" in GUPPY?" the two German Boats studied were the U-2513 and U-3008. ;
    Included in this site is a section for each of the Guppy classes.  You can check back on the opening page for a link to each class.  There were seven major conversion types:  The Guppy I, Guppy IA, Guppy IB, Guppy II, Guppy IIA, Guppy III, and the Fleet Snorkel.
