but has different machinery? You could just as easily say that it's 'similar' to the LA class. They are all roughly shaped the same and laid out the same. According to the profiles in this book beside me, the
Lipscomb is significantly longer and more slender than the Sturgeon, much closer to the appearance of the LA class, although all three have the same basic lines. It should say somewhere "the Glenard P. Lipscomb was a class of one vessel, similar to the preceding Sturgeon class and the succeeding Los Angeles class" so the reader doesn't have to sift through clues in the text.

If this vessel isn't a part of any class of submarine, and is a one-off, unique model, it should say so more clearly. I leave the article thinking "so I guess, if I interpret what was said correctly, it was a unique vessel". What does "similar to the

Agreed. I added the word 'unique' to the opening sentence. This word is already used in the opening sentence of the USS Narwhal (SSN-671) Wiki article. Both of these submarines were developed during the 1960's for much the same objective: to test engineering features that would increase the
575:'quietness' of submarines (USS Jack (SSN-605) arguably also fits this description, although the unique changes on that sub were less extensive). I also added a 'See also' section to the Lipscomb and Narwhal articles that links to the other for this reason.
