Or are you thinking of Bryant's book on the S-class?
And that show sucks. They're ratings are completely arbitrary which is what happens when you compare WWI, WW2, Cold War, and Modern subs. That's apples, oranges, bananas, and grapes as far as I'm concerned! I certainly think the Type VII is incredibly important, but I would consider Germany's WWI subs to be a close, or greater, match as they were the initial proof of the effectiveness of submarines. Putting the Sea Wolf at #2 is nice, because it's a gorgeous, extremely capable boat, but it's hardly had any impact on world. Certainly nothing like the WW1 or WW2 ships. Then again, they hardly compare to it in terms of capability. So the whole idea of their scale is porked. And that's about enough ranting for now. :p
