Guppy boats are WWII fleet boats upgraded at the early stages of the Cold War to bring them up to about the level of the Type XXI technologically.

They're not a class as such since they're the same fleet boats of WWII, just significantly upgraded.

GUPPY stands for Greater Underwater Propulsion Power Program

First upgrades were in 1947, so you wouldn't see them in the war.
