So the four US controllable boats listed at the start of this thread are:

P-class
Tambor Class
Salmon Class
Gato Class

[I'll just mention briefly my disappointment in the lack of S-class boats]

It's been suggested somewhere that the Balao and Tench classes are included under the Gato heading, since those two classes were upgrades and improvements from the Gatos. But while looking around, I've found that the Tambor class is sometimes said to include the Gar subs, and that the Sargo class subs were practically the same as the Salmon.

Is there any confirmation that this is how US sub availability works in the game? Do the sub classes listed in the first post include those later improvements which were called by other names, as I've described (i.e. that "Gato" also includes Balao and Tench)? Or is the 4 class listing all that we know so far?

Also, SH3 allowed you to customize your sub, to a certain extent, by choosing deck guns, conning towers, advanced equipment. Will the same thing be possible in SH4?
