A question for the USN SSBN folks-

Just for fun, I'm doing the DML 1/700 Lafayette class submarine (all 16 pieces of it, including the stand!) and started wondering about the stern planes on the early boomers. You occasionally see the vertical appendages on the outer ends of the horizontal stern planes. I know they're not rudders, and I understand they might be a quieting measure. Was there a rule about which classes got them? Thanks
