The USS Guppy is an example of Balao-class submarines, built from 1942-1946. The Balao-class subs were an improvement on the earlier Gato class submarines. The exterior remained unchanged, with internal differences, and the use of higher strength steel on the pressure hull being the changes. The submarines ran on diesel-electric motors, with the diesel running the electric generators, and the electric motors driving the propellers.
