The Thresher/Permit class of United States Navy submarines was the result of a study commissioned in 1956 by the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO), Admiral Arleigh Burke.
The use of a new alloy steel, HY-80, increased the boats' test depth, and a redesign of the engineering spaces, with the turbines supported on "rafts" that were suspended from the hull on sound damping isolation mounts.
The first submarine commissioned in this class was the ill-fated Thresher (SSN-593), and so the class was known by her name.

Thresher (SSN-593) represented a new generation of multipurpose nuclear submarine and was the prototype for all subsequent attack submarine classes.

The SSN-594 Permit class was the world's first modern, quiet, deep-diving fast attack submarines, integrating such advanced features as a hydrodynamically shaped hull, a large bow mounted sonar array, advanced sound-silencing features, and an integrated control/attack center with the proven S5W reactor plant.

Her loss at sea during deep-diving tests is often considered a watershed event in the formation of the "nuclear navy", led by Hyman Rickover.
However, while mooring at Port Canaveral, Florida the submarine was accidentally struck by a tug which damaged one of her.
Deep sea photography, recovered artifacts and an evaluation of her design and operations permitted a Court of Inquiry to determine that she had probably sunk due to a piping failure, subsequent loss of power, and inability to blow ballast tanks rapidly enough to avoid sinking before imploding with massive force.

In consequence of their high capacity, the attenuation constant of submarine cables is high, and only a small number of cables, of comparatively short length, are in use for telephonic purposes.
Attempts have been made to improve submarine cables in this respect, and in 1906 a short cable loaded with Pupin coils was laid across Lake Constance.
The problem, however, of constructing a deep-sea cable satisfactorily, with suitable inductance coils inserted at short distances apart, is a difficult one, and one which it cannot be said has been solved.

 Should Further U.S. Submarine Production Be Postponed?
Nuclear submarines are among the most complex structures built by man. Not only must they survive and function underwater for long periods of time in a hostile environment, they contain a nuclear reactor in immediate proximity to the crew.
Specifically, the third Seawolf-class submarine should be started on schedule in 1996, and the next class of attack submarines should be started as soon as feasible after that, around 1998.
Finally, considering that savings may be realized by extending the life span of many of the current class of submarines, the researchers recommended that the Navy carefully evaluate that option.
