When an apostrophe is used within a word it indicates missing letters, when it follows a word it indicates a possessive case.

So in the phrase: "one of the Navy’s wolf pack submarines" the apostrophe makes it read like so: 'one of the Navy is wolf pack submarines'.

However, the sub's in question belong to the Navy so it should read: "one of the Navys' wolf pack submarines"
