Two other boats (James K. Polk and Kamehameha received the SOF modifications as Sam Houston and John Marshall. You may be referring to Kamehameha, which was lost a few days before the Northern Theater cease-fire. Those two sinkings were tied for the largest loss of life in a USN sub sinking.
The difference between diplomacy and war is this: Diplomacy is the art of telling someone to go to hell so elegantly that they pack for the trip.
War is bringing hell down on that someone.
