From the little information there is out there on the S-class, they all seem to mention a figure of 1 to 2 Knots faster both surfaced and submerged for the S-Class.

Take this as one example:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_...lass_submarine

"Speed: 14.5 knots (27 km/h) surfaced; 11 knots (20 km/h) submerged"

EDIT: Or this

Speed:

Surfaced: 14.5 k.

Submerged: 11 k.
