Question

Which nuclear submarine would you take back to command during World War II if its supporting infrastructure came with it?

Short answer

Suggestions include Seawolf, Typhoon, and Block V Virginia.

Notes

The scenario brings the submarine's supporting infrastructure back in time with it. That removes maintenance infrastructure as the immediate constraint on the choice. Suggestions include Seawolf and Typhoon, followed by a change of preference to a Block V Virginia. The replies are personal selections without a detailed comparison of wartime missions.
