For a long time the Skipjack was the fastest and most manoeuverable nuclear submarine class in the US navy. Launched in 1958, the Skipjack was in active service for almost 20 years and matched the Soviet Victor Class in power. Its slender rounded shape and powerful engine gave it a submerged speed of 30 knots.
