The USS Narwhal (SSN 671) was Adm Rickover's pet project, was a one-of-a-kind sub built same time as Steurgon class.
Narwhal has many similarities to the USS Richard B. Russell sub -- special capabilities, secret missions, same time frame
USS Narwhal went to Sub recycling graveyard on the exact same day as the USS Richard B. Russell (SSN 687)...October 1, 2001 ... 19 days after 9/11
The Russell was recycled, but the Narwhal was spared and sits idly at the Pugent Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton WA
