	Submarine History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		Early classes of submarine were designated by a letter such as A,E,H,K,M,N,O, and R. In 1908 submarines were used to defend the Philippines.
		In 1916 the first submarine used for operations with the fleet was constructed, the S Class submarine.
		L Class submarines were used to defend Allied shipping from German U-boats during World War I. World War II During the 1930s the Electric Boat Co. built the Salmon Class submarine that proved to be effective for long range patrols.

	USS Salmon
		Salmon, the second of a class of two radar-picket submarines and the largest and most powerful conventional-powered submarines in the United States Navy, conducted her shakedown cruise between 19 February and 10 May 1957, ranging from Newport, R.I., to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
		Salmon was the first submarine to earn a Golden "E" and was to better that record by winning hashmarks signifying retention of that status during 1963 and 1964.
		Salmon's fifth deployment to the western Pacific was from 20 March to 4 October 1967.

	US Submarines Speed Versus Sea State with Technical Data (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		These submarines were extremely large by standards of the day (about three times the size of an S boat), slow on the surface, slow on the dive and difficult to maneuver.
		The USS Argonaut, the lone member and the namesake of its class was the direct descendent of the Barracuda Class, devloped principally to serve in the Pacific as a long range mine layer.
		These two classes of submarines shouldered the bulk of the combat duties during the early stages of the war, with the USS Tautog (photo) holding the scoring record in the category of "number of ships sunk" (26).

		SALMON was conducting a patrol from Manila along the west coast of Luzon at the time of the surprise air raid by the Japanese against the Philippine bases and Pearl Harbor.
		SALMON then maneuvered for a closer inspection and saw that the sampan was displaying rising sun emblems on its deckhouse and that its crew was attempting to jettison objects over the side.
		SALMON was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation for extraordinary heroism against enemy surface vessels during her eleventh war patrol in restricted, enemy-held waters of the Pacific.

		The submarine was repaired and commissioned as the German UB on 30th November 1940.
		The attack was provoked by the submarine being out of area diving when seeing the aircaft, instead of proceeding on the surface and firing recognition signals as she had been instructed.
		German reports indicate the sinking of a submarine in the Bodo area at the time by shore batteries, but the most likely cause of her loss is a mine.

	U.S. Submarines
		Following this class shortly was the first class of "fleet submarines", designed as large vessels with high endurance and speed to support the battlefleet.
		The next class, the T-class, was already the prototype for the Gato/Balao class, and these two classes, barely distuinguishable after the refits, would be the primary tools of the US submarine force to destroy the Japanese merchant navy.
		These submarines were a powerful tool of warfare, and were almost solely responsible for the decimation of the Japanese merchant fleet.

		SALMON conducted local operations in southern California waters, as a unit of SubDiv33, until she began her first western Pacific deployment on 23 September.
		SALMON returned to San Diego on 20 December and became flagship of SubFlot1; and, in addition to that distinction, was awarded the Golden "E" for excellence in battle efficiency for the past five consecutive years, which rated her as the leading submarine of her division.
		In 1992 SALMON was converted to a shallow water sonar target and sunk near Hudson Canyon, south of Long Island as a bottom target on 5 June 1993 and remains there to this day.

	British Submarines of World War Two - U and V Class (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		As individual boats the U Class lagged behind contemporary designs in other navies in terms of speed, range, armament etc and the layout, designed for unarmed boats, was more cramped than most other classes in the war.
		The V class were a modification of the U design, but being of partly welded construction they were able to dive deeper.
		Four of the class operated in the Mediterranean, three of which (Virtue, Vivid and Vigorous) went on to operate in the Far East in 1944/45, though they must have been the most uncomfortable of all naval vessels in that area, due to the extreme humidity.

	SS-212 Gato
		Construction of this class was accelerated in 1940 due to the escalation of the war in Europe.
		Submariners resolved these problems, and ultimately played a key role in stemming the tide of Japanese advancement.
		By late 1943, US submariners, employing aggressive daytime submerged and nighttime surface attack tactics, were destroying large numbers of enemy ships throughout the Pacific and in Japanese controlled home waters.

		Identical in all respects to the preceding Tennessee class except for the substitution of eight 16 inch for twelve 14 inch.
		These were also the first ships with independent elevation for their rifles in the triple turrets.All previous classes had their main rifles in a single slide.
		All of these ships except Savannah and Honolulu found their way into foreign navies.The only ship of this class lost in combat was the Phoenix during the Falklands Conflict in 1982, she had been sold to Argentina and renamed General Belgrano.

		Built at the Electric Boat Company Yards in Norfolk, Virginia, the Salmon Class represents a significant improvement over the smaller P-class boats of the early 1930s.
		It is said to be much more comfortable than either the German or the League submarines, such that the American crews will be better rested and more capable of staying sharp during long patrols.
		The US Navy believes the Salmon will make a superior merchant killer and long-range raider, as increased use of the deck guns will save torpedoes and allow an S-Class captain longer hunts.

		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.
