Editing Gato-class submarine (section)

===Naval Reserve trainer===
Interested in maintaining a ready pool of trained [[United States Navy Reserve|reservists]], the Navy assigned numerous fleet ships to various coastal and inland ports (even in [[Great Lakes]] ports such as [[Chicago]], [[Cleveland]], and [[Detroit]]) where they served as a training platform during the reservists' weekend drills. Twenty-eight ''Gato''-class ships served in this capacity, some as late as 1971. In this role, the ships were rendered incapable of diving and had their propellers removed. They were used strictly as pierside trainers. These were in commission, but classed as "in commission in reserve", thus some were decommissioned and recommissioned on the same day to reflect the change in status.<ref>{{harvnb|Friedman|1995|p=285}}</ref><ref>All post war data from {{harvtxt|Alden|1979|loc=Part IV}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.submarinesailor.com/Boats/Reserve/Reserve.asp |title= Reserve Training Boats of the U.S. Submarine Service |date= n.d.}}</ref>
