During WW2 the US Navy built 126 submarines.
The Royal Navy Operates 6 Trafalgar class submarines and 1 Astute class. These submarines are called 'attack' or 'hunter-killer' submarines and have roles such as land attack using Tomahawk cruise missiles and anti-surface and anti-submarine roles using the Spearfish torpedo. They can also carry out surveillance and reconnaissanse. The Royal Navy also has 4 Vanguard class submarines. These submarines are ballistic missile submarines. These submarines are responsible for the UK's nuclear detterent and use the Trident missile system. There is always at least one of these boats at sea at any given time.

It depends on the real question. If meant literally, then yes, women are allowed on submarines. They can visit some submarines. If the question is, "Are women allowed to serve/work on submarines?" then it depends on the country. In the Royal Navy (UK) they are not allowed to serve at present. The United States, however, is gearing up to allow some women officers to serve aboard U.S. Navy nuclear submarines.

Nope - "HMS" stands for "Her Majesty's Ship" (or His, depending on the ruler of the moment), and U.S. submarines, like all U.S. Navy commissioned warships, use "USS", or "United States Ship". "HMS" is only used on ships or submarines within the realm of British Monarch (currently Queen Elizabeth II), primarily used by the British Royal Navy. It would also include navies from any country her realm, though they add their own country abbreviation within the acronym. Countries that include the acronym that have submarines are: Canada: Her Majesty's Canadian Ship (HMCS) - Royal Canadian Navy Australia: Her Majesty's Australian Ship (HMAS) - Royal Australian Navy
