At random: USS TRITON, the only American made twin reactor submarine ever built, on May 10, 1960, completed the first totally submerged non-trivial circumnavigation of the world when she followed the route of Ferdinand Magellan for 36,000 miles during 84 days beneath the surface.

USS G-1 had two. There were others. USS AA-1 or T-1 had two tubes in her aft superstructure, not sure if the T-2 & 3 didn't have the same. Narwhal had 6 tubes below decks and 4 in the superstructure. Nautilus had the same. Porpoise had two tubes added in an overhaul. proved to not be effective. Pike also had the same added to her. Tarpon had the some modification. Pickerel was modified in 1942 . Permit in 1943 and that seems to be about it. Maybe ther were more.

For paper on the G1 and her tubes go here. http://pigboats.com/dave2.html
