I would guess Turkey could still use them effectively. Subs should be ideal for use in the Eastern Med to bottle in the Soviets. The US would probably welcome this although after the destruction of the major fleets on both sides this might change and the US might want them back (although by then they would be very useful against Greece).

TCG I. Inonu - USS Threadfin
Guppy III Type
TCG II Inonu - USS Corporal
TCG Canakkale - USS Cobbler
USS Tench Class
TCG Ulucalireis - USS Thornback
TCG Cerbe - USS Trutta
USS Tang Class
TCG Pirireis - USS Tang
TCG Hizirreis - USS Gudgeon
So you have nine total subs - I could see the US trying to get one or two back from Turkey if they are still afloat, especially as the Turks had newer subs in commission
