Talk:Fleet submarine

Tench class
Just wondering why Tench class subs are not listed in the comparison of WWII submarines?
 * Whereabouts?
 * I presume (as we've had this argument endlessly in the past, between those who've read Alden and those who haven't) they're not there for the same reason as the Balao isn't. Either "All classes after the Gato were just modifications of the Gato" or else "All of them actually were Gato". Similarly, Alden describes the Porpoise, Shark and Perch classes, but here they're all lumped in as Porpoises (and they're all missing here too, which is even worse).
 * This is wrong, and should be fixed. But last time anyone tried, there was an argument over it and someone played the "I was in the Navy" card.
 * If that gives us "too many rows in the table" or "too many US rows", then so what? The fleet submarine was a particularly US concept. Andy Dingley (talk) 15:39, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the response. I know they sank Japanese shipping during the war; in fact the Torsk of this class was the last sub to do so. Since they had two additional bow tubes and were designed with a much greater test depth which considerably changed tactics, my vote is it's indeed a completely separate class. These two points should put it on the list IMO. Alvint69 (talk) 15:58, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
 * CORRECTION: The Gato classes also had six bow tubes. I guess I can live with the designation as a "Gato variant", but but even other wikipedia pages refer to them as separate classes. Alvint69 (talk) 16:05, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
