Until 1959, the Triton, one of the first-generation Nuclear subs was the longest, and the first US submarine to have two independent reactors. She measured 447 ft 6 in (136.40 m) overall.
Then, the longest current class of submarine, the Ohio-class, at 560 ft (170 m), was built, and is now the longest submarine in the US Navy.
