IIRC there were like 3 or 4 GUPPY designs.
I know the USS Cavella that the Subsim members are familiar with is a GUPPY.....and I think that the submarine at Patriot's Point in SC is also a GUPPY.
I don't know much about GUPPY boats.
Nice diagram, if a bit cluttered. I need one of these for my wall. Right now I've got a Submarines and U-boats Timeline type of posters up and the Kriegsmarine Chart that came with SH3 up on the wall now. Along with my STL Cardinals stuff...and the painting of an airplane.
A Gato would be nice.... The Subs and U-boats poster has a Gato and a Balao on it along with 24 other submarines from the C.L. Hunley to the USS Virginia with a US Sub class timeline along the bottom and a Submarine history timeline on the left side.
I've got some redecorating to do.
