iKrolm Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) I have the tech and industrial base to do it. Isn't Bhutan land locked though? Edited September 13, 2012 by iKrolm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kankou Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Oh wait, you want an IC nation. Quebec is unlikely to take on this job, but I am willing to work on the designing to make it believable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Andres Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Submarines don't have a "windshield". I would think flying a submarine in the sky would be an extremely large, hard to maneuver target that would essentially be blind. Sure, you could put optics in the sail, but it wouldn't be very effective. How large were you planning on making this thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Andres Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 A more feasible option would be something that was more helicopter than submarine. It would be much smaller and would not be able to go to fill submarine depth, but would be able to travel underwater to sneak into a destination and then take off into the sky. Or vice versa, it could escape beneath the water when in pursuit. The trades offs still wouldn't make this advisable, it would be extremely expensive. Having an effective pressure hull would limit a lot of the effectiveness of the helicopter missions, but at least there could be some missions where this might be advantageous. As I previously said, taking a fully operational nuclear submarine (or even a diesel) into the skies is not feasible at any tech level. Even if it was possible, you would be a large, not easily maneuverable target and would easily be taken down. A submarine's strength is stealth. There is nothing stealthy about a large, slow, metal blimp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kankou Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 You seem to be mistaking what the submarine is supposed to be: It [b]CARRIES[/b] helicopters for operations, not fly into the air. It's basically an underwater helicopter carrier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waste a sub and an aircraft slot to build a thing that sucks at fullfilling any of its roles, only succeeding in earning a collective facepalm from CNRPs military community.

Kevin Kingswell Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 To answer the questions: Yes Bhutan is landlocked which is why it needs to be able to stay out on operation for long time and I intend to handle the port issue IC shortly. As for size I don't know the actual size of the sub in the anime its from but all I intend is for it to carry three gunships of about Apache size, up to sixty cruise missiles likely of Tomahawk size as well as the necessary torpedoes for underwater combat and all the other essential parts. Kankou if you could get me a design for a sub which is to or close to those specifications it would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vedran Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Taking out the helicopter hangars(?) would leave more room for vertical launch tubes. But then a normal SSGN would suffice. Not sure what being shaped like a turtle does for the acoustics, though. I imagine it wouldn't be very sneaky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Andres Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 My apologies for the misinterpretation of "helicopter assault vehicle." Now the only difficulty would be getting the people from inside the pressure hull to the "hangar compartment" but a hatch easily solves that.
