I think they are 660mm iirc. From what I understand they were upgraded in size just in case the need ever arised to fire larger caliber loads, though I don't think any were ever made. Somehow a 660mm torps seems a little like overkill for the US.
iirc, I think the Israeli submarines have 660mm or 650mm tubes as well to enable them to fire nuclear tipped cruise missiles.
