By the way have an interesting idea of a potential recommissioned submarine for the USN or perhaps the Iranians for the Twilight War
USS Trout (SS-566)
she was sold to the Iranians but her crew abandoned her before she could be delivered in 1979
she sat around for a long time and was shuttled around to various places but she was operational
you have to wonder if she was either sold to the Iranians when the war started or possibly if she was refitted at the same time as the Forrest Shermans
she is conventional not nuclear so fuel would be a concern - but she would be a potential operational US submarine that could be used for ops in places like the Caribbean or Mexico - or even as a way to get characters to either New England or New York for the modules set there
and she wouldnt be a big issue for canon - and old Tang class sub is not even remotely like having a second SSN in service
not even sure if they could find torpedoes for her unless they got some overseas since I am pretty sure she used only the older Mk27 and Mk 37 torpedoes and except for some converted to mines they would have all been sold long before 1995
