I read long ago that research into the hydrodynamics of whales and sharks influenced submarine hull design. AGSS-569 looks like a whale - I wonder if the influence is an urban myth or has an element of truth.

At 10:37 the towing test without a propeller or any high-pressure air to blow the ballast tanks sounds extremely dangerous. Perhaps a blower could blow the ballast tanks with low-pressure air if the snorkel was above the surface.

Did the Albacore seriously attain 30+ knots as a diesel boat??

Aaron, this looks like the Soviet's got ahold of these plans and used them for their subs.
