The class of boats that Narwhal was a part of (Sturgeon/637 class) were in their day the deadliest ASW platform in existence. They were also one of the greatest intelligence gathering tools we had. I may be a little biased but even the next generation of fast attack boats, the Los Angles /688 class, were not their equal.
Steel boats and iron men.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Samuel Adams
