Nope. Sometime in the 1950's, the Navy launched some primitive missiles from very modified submarines, but never any aircraft. The biggest US Navy submarine was the USS Argonaut (V-4).

Actually the USS S-1 was fitted with an experimental seaplane hangar. I'm sure it carried a plane at some time before the experiment was declared a failure.

Narwhal was a sister ship, but the class was the V-class. Back in those days, submarines didn't get classes named, just given letters.

Argonaut is slightly larger then the Narwhals.
