Oh Alan. I’m afraid your poetic license has expired. Time to renew it.

Are you SURE there have been no submersible aircraft carriers since? I have heard rumors of some US attack subs with submersible aircraft for SEAL teams for example….

The French ended up with it, named it the Dixmude, and shortly thereafter lost it in a storm over the Mediterranean."

Thanks. That sounds like the French.

If they let it stay outside, the water pressure would break the plane like a 1066-candle cake going splat into the ground:). Not to mention that, if they did find a way to have it withstand such pressure, it would possibly make the submarine stay on the surface because of it's wings.

So good luck to the military!"

I think its 1106 candles... Keep it up with the Military information Thanks,

I realize that many of these German super weapons were unrealized pipe-dreams, but I could have sworn I saw something on the History channel. P.S. I think you guys may have a seriously pissed off-Canuck on your hands. Be carefull when you goo oot and aboot, or you may end up drizzled in maple syrup with a hockey stick through your chest.

A v-2 was used as a terror weapon it was horribly inaccurate thats why they weren’t used for bombing military targets a tomahawk is so accurate it can pin point a fly on a guys jackets and blow it up

The current Tomahawk is far more closely related to aircraft than missiles. It has a turbofan engine. It has surveillance capabilities. It can loiter over the battlefield and, thanks to said real-time surveillance, can be directed to attack multiple targets or the same target again if the first strike is deemed a miss.

It has absolutely nothing at all in common with a V-2 rocket.
