Default Biggest US Submarine

Yes, in terms of tonnage and length, the USS Argonaut (SS 166) was the largest US sub of WWII, although the Narwhal class (Narwhal and Nautilus) was only slightly smaller. The Argonaut was indeed sunk (but in 1943, not 1942 I think) - the Narwhal (SS 167) and Nautilus (SS 168) survived the war and were scrapped soon after. None of these three subs will be included in SHIV.

Default Narwhal Class

In SHI, the Narwhal class was included. Not the Argonaut though, but I guess thay couldn't include everything. In SHIV, though, we are going to get a very small selection of subs - at least they are all important ones. No S-Class though. Not that I would ever use them...

Default

Is there any SHIV dev. explanation why there wont be any s-class? I think they should be included, due to the historical issue...

Something like this would be cool in SHIV:
