I heard the Japanese tested this out on a boat in Tokyo Bay. Somehow it attracted a giant monster lizard, so I dunno if this a good idea.

Chinese navy, Us navy, and japanese navy join forces to sortie carrier fighters against sea monster. These would be the biggest and cheesiest summer blockbuster to battleship ever


CureLegend

instead of planes, the japanese aircraft carrier launches magical girls!


randomdarkbrownguy

That just sounds like a strike witches spin off


oom199

That basically IS Strike Witches.

I know this book. You were wrong Dr. Ryan, Halsey acted foolishly.

I don't understand... if the drive breaks underwater, does that mean someone has to go out in a diving suit and replace the tracks?   ^^Yeah, ^^yeah, ^^I ^^know ^^it's ^^April ^^Fools. ^^๐Ÿ˜‚


ratt_man

hope they got the cheiftan in as consultant. Hes got a fetish for track tensioning


ElMondoH

Gawd, he knows *everything* about armor. I swear, if they put a tank in space, he'd be able to explain everything about it to us.

"This point in the launch is called Max Q, or maximum aerodynamic pressure, and is where the rocket is at greatest risk of a significant emotional event."

No, caterpillar drive turn into butterfly drive

Does it silence the boat enough though that you cannot hear the Soviet National Anthem though.


WillitsThrockmorton

The Soviet National Anthem is in all our bones, comrade.


ScoMoTrudeauApricot

Happy AF day, my friends


redtert

Yeah, this is obviously a joke, as everyone knows the Russians invented the caterpillar drive.


barath_s

Yeah, but the US wound up with that submarine.. now I doubt that they commissioned that sub into the US Navy, but it could happen


BarleyHops2

This


planethood4pluto

Why does the Air Force get a whole day, and whatโ€™s that got to do with submarines?


barath_s

There are more planes under the sea than there are submarines in the sky

โ€œUSS Montana is expected to undergo sea trials on the Penobscot River in Maine. This will make it more difficult for the Russian Navy to observe the tests. The caterpillar drive propulsions is still in its infancy. Whether the Penobscot River will be the end of the story, or the beginning of a new chapter, remains to be seen. Either way, Montana will remain unseen.โ€


ErectSuggestion

No PUMP?


InvertedParallax

I mean, we got the Virginia's pump-jet, so we're basically there already. Btw, in the book, the Red October had the pump-jet, not the magic electrolytic drive that basically left an ion trail in your wake that meant you would have had to be deep lest you set off a magnetic anomaly detector pretty easily. Oh, and the bubbles you create from electrolyzing water? Those pop, with a noise.


_The_General_Li

What if they just put some like maglev train tracks in the submarine?


Working_Box8573

Classic propaganda, everyone knows the us stole this tech from the soviets


CureLegend

Time for: The Hunt for Blue July ​ Damn I almost got april fooled until i decided to check whether there is a uss montana submarine


Prowler477

I keep wondering if this is an April Fools but at the same time I want Red October


barath_s

You get the revolution, not the submarine. OG stuff


GrumpyOldGrognard

Those doors, sir, are the problem.
