USS Seawolf (SSN-575) was the third ship of the United States Navy to be named for the seawolf, the second nuclear submarine, and the only US submarine built with a liquid metal cooled (), beryllium-moderated [2] [3] nuclear reactor, the S2G. [4]
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.

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 ...
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 ...
[2]: 189 Other submarines were used for this role, including USS Parche (SSN-683), USS Richard B. Russell (SSN-687), and USS Seawolf (SSN-575). Seawolf was almost lost during one of these missions—she was stranded on the bottom after a storm and almost had to use her self-destruct charges to scuttle the ship with her crew. [4]
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 ]
Seawolf Park is a memorial to USS Seawolf (SS-197), a United States Navy Sargo-class submarine mistakenly sunk by U.S. Navy forces in 1944 during World War II.
