Question about the Wolves.

Whatever the replacements, I believe that you undoubtably see a reduction in numbers. The large number of '88s were produced to counter a Soviet threat in the Pacific and Atlantic sea lanes. Seeing that there is currently no pressing need to close off those lanes, you now have a large number of submarines without a use for their primary role: That of fleet escort. Yes, they are adaptable, but they are also wasting a lot of money.
