The first USS T-1 (SS-52/SF-1) was an AA-1-class submarine in the service of the United States Navy; T-1 was also known as Schley and AA-1.
She was laid down as USS Schley on 21 June 1916 at the Fore River Shipbuilding Company yard in Quincy, Massachusetts by the Electric Boat Co. of New York, renamed AA-1 on 23 August 1917 to free the name "Schley" for Destroyer No. 103, launched on 25 July 1918, sponsored by Mrs.
Her hulk was broken up, and the materials were sold for scrap on 20 November 1930.
However, in general, all boats of a class are noticeably similar.
Occasionally, a class will consist of a single ship as a prototype, or for experimental use; an example is USS Albacore (AGSS-569), which used an unprecedented hull design.
USS Holland (SS-1) (unique, only 1 in USN service, but there were others of the type made)
USS PHILIPPINE SEA (CV-47) (see: http://www.navsource.org/Archives/CV/cv47.htm and: http://www.south-pole.com/philippine.htm) was an ESSEX-class carrier (899 feet, 3,448 men wartime complement (counting air units), 39,800T full load), fairly new at the time (launched in September of 1945, just too late to take part in WWII), which served as RADM Byrd's flagship for at least part of the op.
USS HENDERSON (DD-785) (see: http://www.plateau.net/usndd/info/infdg785.html and http://www.south-pole.com/henderson.htm) and USS BROWNSON (DD-868) (see: http://www.navsource.org/Archives/DD/DD-868_Brownson.jpg and http://www.south-pole.com/brownson.htm) were GEARING class destroyers (2,425 T), each with six 5-inch guns (in 3 twin mounts), two quintuple 21-inch torpedo tube mounts, and a dozen 40mm AA guns).
USS SENNET (SS-408) (see: http://www.south-pole.com/sennet) was a BALAO class submarine (1,525 T surfaced, 2,415 T submerged), launched in June of 1945.
Even before World War One — and only a dozen years after USS Holland (SS-1) inaugurated the Navy’s undersea force — U.S. naval strategists had already begun to postulate submarines that could operate in closer collaboration with the surface fleet than the Navy’s existing classes, which had been designed primarily for coastal defense.
These notional “fleet” submarines would necessarily be larger and better armed, but primarily, they would need a surface speed of some 21 knots to be able to maneuver with the battleships and cruisers of the line.
In the ensuing authorization of eight submarines, Congress stipulated that one should “ be of a seagoing type to have a surface speed of not less than twenty knots.” After the money was found — in 1915 — this first fleet boat was laid down in June 1916 as a larger version of Spear’s original concept.
The IT-1 entered limited series production at Uralvagonzavod in Nizhny Tagil and was produced in small numbers from 1968 to 1970; the only tank based ATGM system to successfully reach the stage of limited series production.
Though the IT-1 did enter service with the Soviet Army, the development of the IT-1 tank destroyer, the 2K4 missile system, the 3M7 "Drakon" missile and the associated semiautomatic command and guidance systems had proved a severe stretch for available Soviet technology in the early 1960's.
Part 1 book just has been printad and is available for online ordering (price $9.97).
Note that the OOBs are slugged to one OOB infantry = 1 platoon and 1 OOB vehicle = 5 vehicles.
Junior General Report 1 (December 2002) is the 106th publication to appear on MagWeb.com, and is geared to schoolteachers wishing to use historical miniatures simulations in the classroom.
You'll notice that the 1 week and 1 month rate remain basically unchanged (OK, we raised them a nickel), but that the 3 and 6 months rates were raised $5 and $10.

I found this interesting post at USS Clueless, which talks about all this moving to own publishing system for blogs and more.
There is also a mention of the tussle between MT and Kathy Kinsley, of The Third Hand, who was going to start a small hosting service whereby people could pay a small fee per month for a site which would have Movable Type on it.
It is said that she was so devoted to Sahir that she used to smoke buds discarded by Sahir.

1-Jul-1943; USS Runner (SS-275) is lost with the loss of 78 shipmates when she disappeared without a trace on her third war patrol
All submarines commissioned and decommissioned prior to this had no assigned hull number or SS designator during their lifetime.
26-Jul-1944; USS Robalo (SS-273) is lost with the loss of 84 shipmates of the West Coast of Palawan.
Ruben Rivera looked absolutely horrible at the plate, striking out in his two at bats, and he was nowhere near the ball.
As a scout told me, if he can just cut down on the strikeouts, putting the ball in play more often will get hits just from pure luck, which would get his batting average back up (.265 last year after.300 the year before).
Yeah, well, since then he's had 1 home run and one RBI, with 15 strikeouts in 38 at bats.
