If you do a quick search on Google for American S-Class submarines you'll find all kinds of sources. :salute:

This (http://www.pigboats.com/) one has lots of photos.

Movies? It's not a great source, or even close, but it does have one cool scene of an S-Boat backing away from a pier - in full color!

The first half or so of Run Silent, Run Deep involves an S-Boat.

Edir:
The book, not the movie.

My local library has a copy of this one;

Just recently finished reading it again.

The Historic Naval Ships Association webpage has a couple of gems on their Resources page. Select the Submarine, and Torpedo Fire Control heading, and scroll down a bit. You will see a document called Submarine Information and Instruction Manual. It is a training manual for S-Boat sailors.

On the same site, there is a page called Booklet of General Plans; scroll down until you see SS-131. The plans of S-26 (an Electric Boat type S-Boat) are available as a PDF file.
