Very interesting. Had me for a minute as there’s a USS Albacore that serves as a museum in Portsmouth (NH) harbor. Turns out this Albacore was the 3rd sub with the name. It was a research vessel to try out new features for submarines.

First cigar shaped hull...and she successfully proved the design.
