      These manuals show the surface

      These manuals show the surface shaft power to the screws as 5400shp , yet several reputable authors refer to a figure of 4160 shp , this despite the fact the propulsion machinery
      remains " as -built "
      Would appreciate any comment about the surface power of the USN Fleet Submarine and its GUPPY mod's that retained the same machinery.

        I always wondered why people

        I always wondered why people ask questions like this ... does it really matter what "several reputable authors" wrote later?
        Regardless of the answer, the boats did their assigned tasks and did them well. Don't worry about unanswerable things like this on a model submarine board. I want to puke when I see threads start on SMML with questions like "Would the Yamato outrun the Missouri in a 60-mile speed dash?" I'm sorry, I just tire of hypothetical (is that spelled right?) stuff.

          Well its bit like collecting

          Well its bit like collecting train numbers .Non-violent .
          But actually I was advised to try this forum because there are people who know a lot about submarine history as well a making models .No need to be so bloody rude about it . I shall go back to the ex-submariners site where they are robust but generally civil, perhaps due our common background.

          And for the record it is a significant question if one is interested in the design development of real submarines .
