	Gato Class Submarine Model - USS Barb - 1/150 Scale Mahogany Model - WWII USN Sub
		The Gato class, and its successor, the Balao class, bore the brunt of the fighting against Japan during the war.
		Gato class submarines were successful boats that proved to be fast, strong, well armed, and suited to the long-range patrols necessary to fight in the Pacific.
		USS Bowfin, USS Pampanito, USS Lionfish and USS Becuna are all Balao class submarines.

	The Gato Class Fleet Type submarine was the class of submarine
		The Gato Class Fleet Type submarine was the class of submarine being produced by shipyards for the United States Navy when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941...plunging the United States into the Second World War as an active participant.
		Among submariners, the new boats soon became known as "thick skins" and the older ones as "thin skins," and there was considerable argument over the behavior to be expected of the new steel under depth-charging.
		Therefore, without the prior knowledge of the submarine designers, the government specifications for HTS were relaxed from chrome-vanadium steel with a yield strength of 50,000 pounds per square inch, to a titanium manganese alloy with a 45,000 pounds per square inch yield strength.

	All Wood Wings: Halibut Class: SSGN-587, Nuclear-powered Experimental Submarine - quality ship models crafted from wood
		The "Regulus submarines" had to prepare and fire their missiles on the surface and then stay at periscope depth to exercise command guidance - which was a severe limitation.
		The USS Halibut - succeeded by the George Washington Class SSBNs - was converted to an Attack Submarine at Pearl Harbor in 1965 and re-designated SSN-587.
		The submarine then began ASW operations until 1970, when she had a major overhaul in the States that installed side thrusters and specialized oceanographic equipment.

	FleetSubmarine.com is your source on World War II American submarines
		The aircraft carriers got all the publicity, but it was the submarine fleet that destroyed most of the Japanese merchant fleet, isolating the home islands, crippling Japanese industry, and preventing resupply and reinforcement of Japanese island garrisons.
		This, despite the fact that the submarine forces comprised less than 2% of the Navy, and spent the first 18 months of the war battling the Navy bureaucracy over defective torpedoes.
		This will include an information page on every submarine that was active during the war—including the older boats restricted to training duty—a brief biography of every commander, technical information on the submarines and equipment, patrol lists, and so on.

	New Jersey Scuba Diver - Dive Sites - Submarines- American
		Many of the Navy's early submarine designs were less than successful, and a number of these boats, some of which were obsolete before they were completed, were used as subjects in weapons tests.
		Her three-ship class was envisioned as long-range, long-endurance attack craft, designed to patrol in distant waters, and sported a number of very advanced features for their day.
		The Gato class submarines that were the WWII workhorses of the US Navy in the Pacific were actually smaller than the Bass, at 311 ft, 1816 tons.

	Typical Gato Class Submarine
		The USS Wahoo (SS-238) was a Gato class submarine.
		The Gatos, and their successors, the Balao and Tench class subs, formed the vast majority of the U. Submarines in the second world war.
		The Balaos were essentially the same as the Gatos; the major difference between the two was the Balao's improved pressure hull that permitted greater depths.

	Submarine Hero - Samuel David Dealey (Site not responding. Last check: )
		After Submarine School and a relatively undistinguished series of peacetime assignments, he was given command of the non-combatant submarine, S-20, used to support at-sea experiments off New London.
		At that stage of the war, "coordinated operations" among submarines were still hampered by poor communications.
		Thus, after collaborating with Pargo in attacking a freighter on the 12th - with results never clearly established - and sinking a small minesweeper with gunfire that night, Dealey was soon separated from the rest and operating independently.

		The success of your mission, and the safety of your submarine and its crew, are in your hands.

	249
		Although she was on lifeguard station during the air attacks preliminary to the invasion of the Philippines during part of this patrol, Flasher sank three ships, a former light cruiser on 18 September, a transport on 27 September, and a cargo ship on 4 October.
		The two destroyers, both found after the war to have been sunk, were the Yugumo class KISHINAMI and the IWANAMI, (the last I can't not find out at this time which class of destroyer she was; Jentschura, Jung and Mickel's definitive work on the IJN lists no combatant vessel with that name).
		She was officially credited with sinking more tonnage of Japanese shipping than any other submarine during World War II (100,230 tons, 24 vessels) and was the only submarine officially credited with exceeding the 100,000 ton mark.

	Gato class submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Gato-class of submarine was the state of the art in American design at the start of World War II.
		Using the previous Tambor-class submarine as the model standard, the Gatos incorporated improvements that increased their overall patrolling and combat abilities.
		And Gato (arguably) formed the basis of the largest class of submarines ever built, counting the Balao and Tench, which weren't substantially different.

		In case you haven't guessed by the pictures, GATO is a submarine simulation game (a GATO class submarine to be exact).
		For many years only one GATO prototype was known to exist, and sadly it very incomplete and not playable.
		It is unknown why Atari decided to stop development on GATO, but it was probably due to the relative unpopularity of the genre on console systems.
