Well with TMO you can pretty much have the USS Requin set up with any late war Gato,Balao or Tench class with two 5/25s and two 40mm Bofors you just wont have the rockets which as far as I know the only sub to have used rockets in combat during WWII was the Barb which had a jerry rigged rocket mount but they where meant to attack shore targets not vessels.
I guess I am too much a WWII purest to be interested in the radar pickets the idea for those did originate in WWII but they did not see service until the late 40's they where some of the first Cold War subs I dont know useful being able to spot enemy planes on radar from such range would all that useful though in SH4.Some later Gatos and Balaos where also converted to guide early cruise missiles.
And some of the GUPPY "lite" subs where sold to allied navies in 60's and some of those did not get retired until the late 70's not bad for subs first completed in 1944 in some cases.
