Answer 1

"HMS Seawolf was a Royal Navy S-class submarine which was launched November 28, 1935 and fought in World War II."

"HMS Seawolf (47S)" : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Seawolf_%2847S%29

Answer 2

The Sea Wolf class submarine was a product of the end of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union and was an incredibly well designed submarine. They were quieter than any previous submarine class, fast, well armed, and could dive deeper than any previous American attack submarines. Due to the end of the Cold War and their cost, few of this class were actually constructed. Because of the quality of these submarines, they served for a long and outstanding career. When their service life was considered at an end, they were retained as test platforms instead of being decommissioned and scrapped. One was still filling this role just before the coming of the Rifts. This submarine was found by Golden Age Weaponsmiths and was refitted. Long before the refitting was complete, the Coalition had already purchased this submarine

The Coalition decided to name the submarine the Sea Wolf after the ship's class name but the submarine in reality was SSN-22 USS Connecticut. This sub is incredibly quiet and is more quiet than the Los Angeles class and is about equal to the slightly later Virginia (Also known as NSSN and Centurion class) submarines. The present plan is not to decommission any submarines except the Thresher until a large number of new Coalition submarines are constructed.

I don't know whether it's still there, but 30-35 years ago there was a WW II US submarine in, either Galveston, or New Orleans, beached permanently, altered for exploration by the public. USS Sea Wolf was the name of it, I'm nearly certain..

German U boat groups were called wolf - packs.... (for the first answerer)

Just found this:

Galveston’s Seawolf Park
Texas 2002 StoriesWhile in Texas I had an oportunity to see Galveston and visit Seawolf Park. Seawolf Park is home to a WWII sub and an escort cruiser. It pleased me to no end that I was able to climb all over inside and outside both boats. I took more pictures there than anywhere else during my Texas adventure.
