[Madame Medusa] Well what are we waiting for? Get it up here! get it up here! [/Madame Medusa]
The Japanese tourists will queue to gawp inside, the military will check it out to see what they can copy, and the Argentines will make an offer so they can refit it and augment their navy!
They are used to undersea aircraft carriers....

Actully, I was really impressed with those subs. I read about them and I just did a jawdrop at how cool they were. More of the 'WWII awesome'. On one hand it would have been neat to see them work beyond test runs... on the other hand... not really, for obvious reasons.

It's a hell of a lot better than the wacky iceburg aircraft carrier the english wanted to build.

Listen pal you are talking about the nation that built steam powered submarines with collapsible funnels (the K-class) and adapted 4 int Subs with a damn great gun (the M-class)
see! http://www.gwpda.org/naval/ks000001.htm

Now tell me we make whacky boats!
