Submarine Specifications

The table below lists the major specifications of all of the submarine classes of the pigboats era. This data was taken from Norman Friedman's U.S. Submarines Through 1945: An Illustrated Design History, Appendix D, pages 306-311. It represents the configuration of the boat when it was first commissioned into the USN. Subsequent modifications and updates can alter the specifications greatly. Some notes concerning the table are below:

•Displ. - displacement, or the amount of water a submarine displaces, analogous to weight.
•Surf. Prop. - The method of surfaced propulsion, i.e. internal combustion engines.
•Subm. Prop. - The method of submerged propulsion, i.e. electrical motors.
•Battery Cells - The number represents the number of batteries and the number of cells in each battery.
•Kts - Knots, or one nautical mile per hour.
•Test Depth - The maximum depth at which the submarine can routinely operate without damage. Most USN submarines have a safety factor of 1.5 built into its design, meaning that the collapse depth of the hull (implosion depth) is 1.5 times test depth.
•Tubes (B/S) - The numbers of torpedo tubes in the bow (B) or stern (S).
•Torp Load - The total number of torpedoes carried.
•Crew (O/E) - The crew size, with the numbers representing officers and enlisted.
