Albacore was such a radical design (for 1950) it was subject to wind tunnel tests before construction was approved. The top Navy Brass did not want to risk changing the shape of the hull from the GUPPY design. It took a very motivated Naval officer, Charles 'Swede' Momsen to push this project into reality.
