Sources seem to vary about the Narwhals range. However, keep in mind that the Narwhal is built on the "U-cruiser" concept. The real Narwhal is MUCH bigger then the pseudo Narwhal you see in game.

As ranges go, sources vary.

According to Navsource.org:

The Narwhal has 182,778 gallons of fuel.

By way of comparision, a Gato class has 97,140 gallons of fuel

So it has nearly twice the fuel.

And then fleetsubmarine.com lists its range at 25,000

While i am skeptical of these figures to some degree, i figured for gameplay reasons, id just go ahead and use a figure of 23,000 since the missions for that boat will send it all over the damn theater, and you could make better time by running at a faster speed then 10 kts if you wanted to. You'll burn more fuel, but you also have more fuel to burn.
