Permit class USS Plunger on the building ways at Mare Island. HY-80 is a high-tensile, high yield strength, low alloy steel.It was developed for use in naval applications, specifically the development of pressure hulls for the US nuclear submarine program and is still currently used in many naval applications.
Incidental submarine encounters with merchant ships were performed by signalling ships to stop, then sinking them after evacuation of the crew, in accordance with international law. After unrestricted submarine warfare began in February 1915, any ship could be sunk unexpectedly from the heavy underwater hull damage inflicted by torpedoes.
The Soviet submarine K-129 carried nuclear ballistic missiles when it was lost with all hands, but as it was a diesel-electric submarine, it is not included in the list. (K-129 was partly recovered by the U.S. Project Azorian.) The two USN submarines belonged to Submarine Force Atlantic, in the U.S. Atlantic Fleet.
The hull of the Albacore utilized HY-80 high-strength steel [3] with a yield strength of 80,000 psi (550 MPa), although this was not initially used to increase the diving depth relative to other US submarines. HY-80 remained the standard submarine steel through the Los Angeles class. [15] Other components were made from high-tensile steel (HTS ...

But 80 years ago, you could see and maybe even touch evidence of the enemy. On Sept. 21, 1943, at the height of World War II, a Japanese submarine was parked on the street just south of where the ...
She took part in Nuclear Submarine Exercise (NUSUBEX) 3–61 off the northeastern coast of the United States from 18–24 September 1961. [6] On 18 October 1961, Thresher, in company with the diesel-electric submarine Cavalla, headed south on a three-week test and training cruise to San Juan, Puerto Rico, arriving 2 November.
