During World War II, the
Gato class, and its successor, the Balao class, carried much of the burden of
the submarine war in the Pacific. These new fleet submarines were successful
boats that proved to be fast, strong, well armed, and suited to the long-range
patrols necessary to fight in the Pacific. They waged war against the Axis
powers, amassing a record of devastation and sheer killing power that was
unmatched by any other land or sea assault platform. These new fleet submarines
enabled the Navy to shift its submarine doctrine from coastal defense to open
ocean attacks on enemy warships and convoys critical to enemy logistical
support. This doctrine of forward presence and strike warfare by the submarine
remains today.
