The reason the S-18 did not have Diesel electric enabled is because IT IS NOT A DIESEL ELECTRIC sub. It has the same charging and propulsion system as the German U-boats, hence one engine provides charging amps, while the other propels the sub.

The S-18, and S-42 classes had VERY long charging times.
