USS Seawolf (SSN-575), a unique submarine, was the third ship of the United States Navy to be named for the seawolf, a solitary fish with strong, prominent teeth and projecting tusks that give it a savage look, was the second nuclear submarine, and the only US submarine built with a liquid metal cooled (sodium) nuclear reactor. The reactor was more efficient than a water-cooled one, but posed several safety hazards for the ship and crew. Although fully armed, Seawolf, like the first nuclear submarine USS Nautilus (SSN-571), was primarily an experimental vessel.
