Nice pictures, modern navies are something else.
Consider that HMS Belfast (now a museum down river) is now a small ship that civilian yachts beat in size!
I like the story of the French Surcouf submarine and the legend around it.
Massive beast carrying its own plane, built to be an underwater destroyer.
The concept did not take on but it played a significant part in local political games between Vichy France, Free France and the USA.
