Major Dynamics, presents, on behalf of the World's Most Impractical Weapon's Storefront (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=510316), just approved for mass export by the Glorious Republic, the I-Series of Submersible Carriers.
Designed for deployment of either Fighter Bombers or Midget Submarines to an enemy shoreline rapidly and without incident, these Submersible Carriers can easily wreak havoc and sow confusion.
I-Series Submersible Carriers
I-500 Submersible Carrier
Designed to launch the I-300 Rocket Powered Floatplane Multirole Aircraft in sabotage or surprise attacks. It can sail for a nearly infinite amount of time underwater thanks to its nuclear reactors and rise near a target and bomb it to crap. It can also torpedo, gun, and fires missiles at its target.
Displacement: 6,560 tons
Dimensions: 122 x 12.0 x 7.0 m
Powerplant: 1 x S6S Nuclear Reactor producing 165 MW
Surface speed: 22 knots
Submerged speed: 12 knots
Maximum depth: 100 m
Complement: 144 including 3 pilots
Capacity: 3 I-300 Rocket Powered Multirole Floatplanes
Primary Armament: 8 x 533 mm forward torpedo tubes
Secondary Armament: 4 x C-802 Antishipping Missiles
Tertiary Armament: 1 x Watertight ETC 175mm Gun
Main Defensive Armament: 3 x 20 mm watertight CIWS systems
Secondary Defensive Armament: 6 x Stinger Missiles (carried internally must be fired from the conning tower)
Cost: $1 billion US
I-600 Submersible Midget Submarine Carriers
A modification of the I-500 Submerisible Carrier. The I-600's job is far easier than that of the I-500. Instead of having to launch a volatile Floatplane and retrieve it, it has to launch and retrieve a fellow submarine, a job that demonstrated by submarine docking operation during rescues, is far easier. It was designed to keep away enemy planes harassing it and damage nearby shipping if necessary.
Displacement: 6,560 tons
Dimensions: 122 x 13.0 x 7.0 m
Powerplant: 1 x S6S Nuclear Reactor producing 165 MW
Surface speed: 22 knots
Submerged speed: 12 knots
Maximum depth: 100 m
Complement: 144 including 18 Midget Landcruiser crew, and 36 Commandos
Capacity: 9 x Sea Devil Midget Landcruisers
Primary Armament: 8 x 533 mm forward torpedo tubes
Secondary Armament: 4 x C-802 Antishipping Missiles
Tertiary Armament: 1 x Watertight ETC 88mm FLaK
Main Defensive Armament: 3 x 21xRIM-116 RAM
Secondary Defensive Armament: 6 x Stinger Missiles (carried internally must be fired from the conning tower)
Cost: $1 billion US
Equipment Carried on the I-Series Subs
Sea Devil class, Midget Amphibious Landcruiser/Midget Submarine
Designed to deploy far behind enemy lines via a specialized carrier or alone, the Sea Devil will provide the absurd combination of a midget submarine, and the tank. With its 60mm Brandt Gun Mortar, and coaxial 7.62mm machine gun, it will be able to provide limited anti-armor abilities. However, the Sea Devil is very maneuverable, and combined with the Submarine carrier, it can easily sink enemy merchant shipping or escort ships and avoid detection because of its small size.
Imagine the shock when suddenly a bridge is torpedoed in a river. Or the sheer ridiculousness of a barge on an inland waterway is torpedoed. By not carrying ammunition for its gun-mortar, the Sea Devil can cram an additional 4 people inside, and become a commando carrier. Its ability to carry two torpedoes can provide an important distraction when it comes above the water and deploys the saboteurs.
Crew: 2
Capacity: 4 additional crew without ammo for mortars
Weight: 20 Tons
Propulsion system: 280hp Marine Diesel, 112hp Electric Engine
Speed: 12kts on the surface
10 kts submerged with snorkel
8 kts submerged with electric power
30 kph on land
Range: 30 hours, max speed on diesel
10 hours, max speed electric
Maximum Depth: 50m
Length: 14.2m
Width: 2.0m
Height: 3m, 5.5m with snorkel
Primary Armament: 2 x VA-111 Shkval Supercavitating Torpedoes or two naval mines
Secondary Armament: 1 x 60mm Brandt Gun-Mortar
Tertiary Armament: 1 x coaxial 7.62mm Machine Gun
$1 million US
I-300 Rocket Powered (Floatplane) Interceptor
While surface to air missiles are extremely advanced today, the increasing use of stealth aircraft and electronic countermeasures are now preventing many of the missiles from hitting from hitting their target. However, they can't jam a face full of 20mm rounds. And with their ability to mount 2 AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles on wingtip rails and with three additional hardpoints (2 underwing, one centerline) it can act as an effective fighter-bomber too.
It also ships with an adapter that allows it to land on water, this is the fighter in the I-500 class submersible carrier.
Length: 8.91 m
Wingspan: 7.75 m
Height: 3.08 m
Wing area: 12 m²
Empty: 1,546 kg
Loaded: 4,150 kg
Powerplant: 1 x RD-2M-3KVR rocket
Thrust: 14.2 kN
Maximum speed: 1,000 km/h
Endurance: 20 minutes
Service ceiling: 17,000 m
Rate of Climb: 4,590 m/min
Primary Armament: 1 x 20mm Autocannon
Secondary Armament: 2 wingtip rails for AAM and 3 hardpoints
