Takeoff and landing would be a very exciting affair with such a long fuselage and such short main landing gear. At least the ventral fins would protect the engines.

You don't realize the number of detail changes and improvements which went on in the Titan family (and others) until you see them side-by-side. An end-of-life IV at least resembles an early IV or even a late III (the Voyager examples) until you line them right up!

I'm not sure about the structural implications of the telescoping structures on Magalhaes, but I think I have a new all-time favorite propeller drawing!

https://i.imgur.com/FTKLANl.png In 1945, Germany changed the world forever with the usage of a single atomic weapon on the British capital city of London, levelling a large portion of the ancient city’s core. With the deaths of every member of parliament and the royal family, the United Kingdom unc...

The idea of the inept, pants-on-backwards Mussolini regime harnessing the power of the atom certainly leans into the concept of an alternate universe! I would instead use a dinosaur on a treadmill. I like the effort to design around the LWNP. Certainly refueling so often is suboptimal for submarine ...

Ah, less a traditional capsule (to the extent they're traditional for anyone) and more of a... an inverse diving bell, I guess. I'm not aware of any efforts in the world's navies to employ such a system, which would have some substantial operational limitations. You would have issues with currents, ...

With four turbines (presumably direct-drive) and such anemic top speed, I would expect the screws to be quite small!

Another very attractive entry, although she seems kind of full aft. What are the paired circular hatches forward and aft, and how does the emergency escape capsule (??) work? Certainly you could fit only a tiny fraction of the crew in there! As a maintenance item, I'd rather have retractable bow pla...

Surely this must be one of the smallest-superstructure steel warships ever built. By volume ratio, I wouldn't be surprised if some of the Whiskey missile submarine conversions had larger sails!
