The Barracuda-class units were American classic diesel-electric fighter submarines that were built and launched between 1949 and 1951. In total, 3 ships of this class were built. A single unit of this type was approx. 59.8 m long and 7.49 m wide, with an underwater displacement of approx. 1,180 tons. The maximum underwater speed reached 8.5-9 knots. The armament consisted of 4 bow 533 mm torpedo tubes.
Barracuda-class submarines, created as part of the research and development program called Kayo, which was aimed at creating the assumptions of the project of a new, small submarine, intended primarily for the destruction of Soviet submarines. The US Navy command was afraid of a quantitative leap in the Soviet submarine fleet at the turn of the 1940s and 1950s, and tried to find an antidote to them. The Barracuda-class ships were relatively small, with a small crew and relatively simple design that would allow them to be truly mass-produced. At the same time, the ships received a very modern sonar system for their time. The rapid development of underwater technologies, including the emergence of nuclear powered ships, made the Barracuda class of little use in the US Navy. All three units were withdrawn from the line by 1959.
