I just realized something else. The Gato is HUGE. I think it's about 50 feet longer than the IX. Are there any classes more in line with the VII.

Aye! If you're gonna be crossing half the Pacific to get to a patrol area, you're gonna want that extra fifty feet. It contains two more diesel engines and a lot of extra fuel.

About par for the course for the Pacific. The contemporary Japanese fleet subs were as big, if not bigger.
