The TMO NARWHAL is kit-bashed from many different class boats to look like NARWHAL and edited to perform like the under-powered boat that NARWHAL was before her rebuild in 43 at Mare Is when her two engines were replaced by four new engines (plus a small engine to charge the battery and another for 'hotel' power). She was still sluggish after 43 but not so much as pre-43.

That entry you quote may affect the before and after power and fuel consumption that the 1943 extensive renovations changed and TMO probably has this file for that change.

May be of interest:
NARWHAL could fire MK-14 & MK-10 torpedoes, which was a surprise to me years ago when I learned this. Six 21" tubes, (for forward & two aft). In 43 external tubes were also added during the refit.

Happy Hunting!
