Actually I know alot of the S Classes did. Probably some others, maybe even just the older between-wars boats. These are credited as war time photos. There were several but no need to link them all.

There are also examples of late war boats in black with the SS number painted on the rear portion of the conning tower. This is S-20 (SS-125) in July '45. (Same boat as the previous picture above, in different scheme.)

But if you look at a photo history of each boat they are in so many variations of paint scheme, with or without numbers it was correct at some point.
