The Japanese subs that attacked Pearl harbor were made in three
sections bolted together.   

The British X-craft were in three sections, also bolted together.

The Aluminaut was bolted together, but it was never intended to
be taken apart.

Saukko was probably the biggest sub ever made that way and
intended to be taken apart and rebuilt.
