USS Albacore (AGSS-569) is a unique research submarine that pioneered the American version of the teardrop hull form (sometimes referred to as an "Albacore hull") of modern submarines.
The USS Albacore (AGSS-569) is remembered mainly as the prototype for the hull form of fast, maneuverable submarines capable of reaching extraordinary underwater speeds. But her story is much more complex than that.
Feb 15, 2023 · Albacore’s service as an active experimental submersible for more than two decades steadily increased the Navy’s knowledge of both theoretical and applied hydrodynamics which it used in designing...
May 9, 2024 · USS Albacore (AGSS-569) is a single prototype submarine pioneering a home-grown version of the teardrop hull shape, really starting the modern submarine shape. This revolutionary design was derived from extensive hydrodynamic and wind tunnel testing in order to reach an unprecedented underwater speed and enhance agility.
Mar 10, 2014 · It was USS ALBACORE (AGSS-569) which pioneered the teardrop-shaped hull that, when combined with nuclear power, would revolutionize the submarine force. We’ll learn more about this unique boat and her unusual final resting place in this week’s “Tidbits.”

Mar 13, 2014 · It was USS ALBACORE (AGSS-569) which pioneered the teardrop-shaped hull that, when combined with nuclear power, would revolutionize the submarine force. Today, learn how the boat ended up high and dry in a concrete cradle in New Hampshire.
The USS Albacore (AGSS 569) was a trailblazer in submarine design. World War II-era “fleet boat” diesel subs were designed to travel mostly on the surface and submerge when necessary, and the combination of hull design and less powerful electric motors employed when submerged meant subs were slower under water than on the surface.
