USS Albacore (AGSS-569) was 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 revolutionary design was derived from extensive hydrodynamic and wind tunnel testing, with an emphasis on underwater speed and maneuverability.

I have visited the Albacore more than a couple of times over the course of the decade. Each time it is a pleasure to see it. It is well maintained by the associated museum.
