This is not the submarine/aircraft carrier i have mentioned in other topics, which is a long aircraft carrier with the ability to launch both submarines and planes. This is rather a submersible aircraft carrier which is large enough to carry its own runway and can hold 30 F/A-18 Hornet aircraft. It can launch one at a time. It is recommended that it be escorted by either a small surface escort or a large submarine escort. Can also be remodeled to carry one NB400 Bomber, which again can carry 80 conventional bombs or 3 nuclear bombs.

The Nadderud Navy has already commisioned 7 of these ships and only 1 can be sold to each nation. Also, any country which i have a trade embargo on can not be given these miracles of machinery

Price pr carrier: 20,000,000,000 $

Sorry, the idea isn't new and the fact that yu have no specs whatsoever means that you wont sell many.

OOC;30 F/A-18s? DAMN! It would have to be incredibly slow, noisy and easily detected(and if you can detect it, you can shoot it, if you can shoot it, you can kill it).

Without more specifics I will not purchase one. If someone puts allot of stats, it dosen;t mean I'm going to read them all, but I will buy it because they took the time to put stats there.

IIRC, a few countries tried this in the early 20th century. Theirs were smaller, carrying just one or two float planes, which made them more mobile hangars than aircraft carriers. I believe most of them met their demise via hangar flooding...

I could see a MT sub designed to carry and launch a few recon planes, but it seems pretty inefficient compared to a simple satellite.

*Bump*

Alright, if you insist im lowering the number to 20 Harriers. Slightly more realistic with the fact that you don't need much of a runway. Instead of increasing the length of the submarine, i'm going to make it taller. I'll post specs later
