Make that three, and they were supposedly able to launch all of them within 45 minutes of surfacing. If the sub design was audacious, so was their final mission in the war: Bombing the Panama canal locks from the east. IIRC they got underway, but the mission was cancelled before the first sub was out of the Indian Ocean.
