Sailfish Class Submarine
The Sailfish-class submarines of the United States Navy were the first to be built expressly for radar picket service and, at the time, were the largest conventionally powered submarines in the United States Navy. Only the Argonaut submarine (SM-1) and Narwahl class (SS-167 & SS-168) from the 1920s were larger.
Both vessels of this class were commissioned in 1956, and served until the late 1970s.

Famous quotes containing the word class:
“I know no East or West, North or South, when it comes to my class fighting the battle for justice. If it is my fortune to live to see the industrial chain broken from every workingman’s child in America, and if then there is one black child in Africa in bondage, there shall I go.”
—Mother Jones (1830–1930)
