Narwhal and Nautilus were old by most standards. They were 10-12 years old when the war started and it showed. They only lasted a while before the Gatos and Balaos started to take up the mantle against the Japanese shipping and Navy, leaving those big boats to do odd jobs, mostly bringing supplies for guerrillas and raiders to hostile shores. As luck would have it, they both had some mighty 6" guns for bombarding purposes too!
So, slow diving, sluggish, non-starters may be kind of my thing
