![[ img ]](http://www.majhost.com/gallery/Thiel/Shipbucket/Neverbuild/Denmark/gv_hovgaards_submarine_project_1900.png) In 1900 Captain G W Hovgaard designed this submarine for the RDN. Unfortunately the Admiralty didn't think submarines were suitable for the Danish waters and turned it down. This and a number of similar refusals caused GW Hovgaard, one of the navy's most brilliant minds, to emigrate to the United States where he got a position as professor in Naval Design at MIT. |

I'm surprised no one commented. This is an interesting design, I never heard of it before, but after a search of some pictures, I have to say this is a good rendition of it. |
