		This led to the USS Tullibee (SSN-597), a smaller and slower SSK(N) with electric drive for quieting and the first integrated sonar suite, including both a low-frequency passive array for long-range detection and a spherical array for approach and attack.

		Barely visible in the background is the battleship USS Ohio (BB-12), Nimitz’s first ship, which brought him to the Far East in 1905 and which served as the Asiatic Fleet flagship until mid-1907.
		Although in the little over three years that Nimitz commanded submarines, they had tripled in size – from 107 to 287 tons – these were truly “boats,” with crews of only seven to 22 men and the capability for remaining at sea for only a day or two.
		Nimitz’s specific contributions to the new submarine designs are not documented, but the outcome of this board – generally conservative but with strong endorsements of improved habitability, reliability, and specific research and development priorities – reflect the practicality and innovation that seem to have been one of Nimitz’s trademarks.
