	Barbel class submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Barbel class of submarines, the last diesel-electric propelled submarines built by the United States Navy, incorporated numerous, radical engineering improvements over previous classes.
		They were the first production warships built with the teardrop-shape hull first tested on Albacore (SS-569), and the first to use an "attack center" within the hull rather than a conning tower in the sail.
		Most countries that build submarines for export, such as Germany, cannot deal with Taiwan without harming their relations with the People's Republic of China, so many analysts expect the United States to either sell the plans for the Barbel class or to actually build the submarines.

		This is roughly the length of a Russian Oscar (#25) class submarine (154 meters).
		He was convinced that if the so-called "Dean Drive" space- drive could be made operational, mounting it in a Skate class submarine would make an instant spaceship (as long as you attached a huge tank of water to the coolant intake).
		(The "Submarines In Space" web page) details the fascination of SF author and editor John Campbell with the early 1960s "Dean Drive" -- an early attempt at antigravity that proved to be no more than the chaotic fluctuations of a motor interacting with a scale.

		Before the USS Nautilus, submarines were basically surface ships that could submerge for hours at a time, cruising at 2 or 3 knots for a day or so then popping back up to the surface to recharge the batteries with a noisy diesel engine.
		That's one reason submarines were used so heavily in intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance during the Cold War, and are still in great demand by intelligence agencies to keep any eye on potential trouble spots.
		Today if someone suggests building smaller, cheaper submarines, Patton said he reminds people of the FFG 7, the Perry class frigate, which tried to do the same thing with surface ships, and which was another failed experiment.

		In January 1974, I was picked up by, and assigned to, the USS Skate (SSN-578), the first boat in the Skate Class.
		As it turns out, the pace was as fast as it was because most of the crew that was onboard when I came aboard were from the yard crew, had just taken the Skate through a major overhaul/refueling, and most were on their way elsewhere and needed replacements.
		I was supposed to remain on the Skate until my discharge in '80, but, while we were in the yard at Pearl, two senior nucs were busted for drugs on the Gold Crew on the USS Marshall (SSBN-611) and I was shanghaied as their replacement.
