Because of the expense of the Guppy II program, the Guppy IA program was devised and it provided an interim measure which saw such special features as Greater underwater propulsion power, Sargo II batteries, streamlined sail and super-structure, new masts, snorkel, and equipment updated and rearranged. These equipment changes were not as drastic as those performed on the Guppy IIs.
