Tiny but titanium-hulled, with "shoulder-mounted" torpedo tubes doubling as cargo compartments. (Sutton's disallowed image embedding from his own site) Love this design, first its an real submarine, this thing has to have an diesel engine. also the cutout for the various antennas is cute. Much better the airlock could also be used for decompression dives at reasonable depths as its doubles as an diving bell. And it has torpedo tubes. So you could use it as an special operation sub towed by an larger one or as an coastal defense sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KerbolExplorer Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Might have been posted here, but anyways. This is known as a JATO take off, where they pretty much slap a few rockets on the plane to allow it to take off(Mainly to help the plane get in the air if it's way to heavy for a normal take off). I'm pretty sure most of us did something similar to get that very badly designed cool plane in the air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you land an C-130 Hercules at an soccer stadium in Tehran using rockets to slow you down, then you rescue the hostages. Rush back to the plane and activate the other sets of rockets who simply push you into flying. I did not know they planned to land the C-130 on an carrier, yes it has been done but did not it was part of this operation, I assumed they would land in Kuwait or similar. And the kerbalism is strong enough anyway here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is probably intended to sink lower in the water when cruising, as are cargo ships. It just looks this way because it is in port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
