There were indeed intended to be ten of them, but the 21's were quite the runaway project. New bell and whistles were piled upon each other, which did greatly enhance the boats, but Congress' collective jaw hit the floor when the bill came along. Yes, the SSN-21 was the ultimate submarine. In fact, it was a little too ultimate.
