USS Seawolf (SS-28), renamed USS H-1 before launching, was the lead ship of the H-class of submarine. Commissioned in 1913, she ran aground and sank in 1920; USS Seawolf (SS-197) was a Sargo-class submarine. Commissioned in 1939, she was successful during World War II until she was lost to friendly fire in 1944; USS Seawolf (SSN-575) was the ...
An S2G was the initial power plant of USS Seawolf.This was one of three sodium cooled reactors (the core was moderated) ordered for the Seawolf program at the same time as three PWR units were ordered to support the USS Nautilus program; In each case, one reactor was land-based for training and research, one intended for installation on a submarine, and one spare.

The Seawolf class is a class of nuclear-powered, fast attack submarines (SSN) in service with the United States Navy. The class was the intended successor to the Los Angeles class , and design work began in 1983. [ 10 ]
It was a pressurized water reactor (PWR) initially installed aboard the USS Seawolf (SSN-575), the second nuclear-powered submarine launched by the U.S. Navy in 1955. The S2W reactor was originally designed as a sodium-cooled system, but operational difficulties with this cooling method led to its later conversion to a conventional pressurized ...
