10 is ample for a country of our size considering a modern sub, even an attack sub, can level a small town with cruise missiles.

@@saltyseadawg4768 Nuclear missiles did require enlarging the boats, and I don't mean in the obvious way of lengthening the boat. I thought the other guy suggested that moving to nuclear propulsion made the subs bigger but I'm not really aware of how it would have, but I do know that building bombers required massively enlarging the boats' diameter as Polaris missiles were almost 9 metres in length and so to accommodate them our missile subs had to have a beam of 10 metres. A massive improvement on the typical 6 metres of earlier subs and enough room for a sub to have three quite spacious floors inside it. 8.4 metre long Polaris missiles in the guts of the sub suddenly meant much deeper and wider subs and lots of extra space to stow things. your dad definitely would have noticed a difference in comfort.

My father Vincent Coyle was one of the designers and a nuclear engineer for the United States Navy at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery Maine USA for over 53 years he helped design and build many nuclear and non-nuclear submarines for the United States Navy along with the experimental sub Albacore. The albacore was and still is the fastest diesel submarine in the world my father also helped design the deep sea rescue vessel along with many upgrades and redesigns of the US submarines originally the thresher was not to have a sail through experimenting way before computers found out that she would corkscrew through the water because of the torque of her engines the last boat he designed was the"Sand Lance" a nuclear fast attack submarine that carried nuclear torpedoes and was capable of speeds well over 40 knots submerged he also continue to make a better living area for the crew over the years he retiring in 1979.

[@krashd]

I can't believe I've only just worked out what use the sail is, as I've thought for years that they could remove it altogether or at the very least just have a stump instead of an enormous sail, but it makes sense the torque would just spin the boat if the sail wasn't there.

[@danacoyle1826]

@@krashd most of the world doesn't realize that the sail houses the two periscopes VHF UHF high-gain antennas the snorkel so they can exchange the air if necessary and four or five other things all jammed up in there but the sail also acts as a stabilizing fin. the tremendous horsepower the seawolf-class submarines have three nuclear reactors producing a boat 45000 horsepower each and with-rotating propellers that are highly guarded Secret I cannot tell you the exact speed but I do know that one left Sicily Italy and arrived in New York Harbor 71 hours later .that was a fast attack boat
