| Post subject: | skyhook submarine |
just found this pic: was this seriously an real idea, or is this from the authors fantasy? I can't seem to find any other intel about it then this pic, but that is not that strange if you think that 3 concepts of this image (the P 1216, the skyhooks and I think the sub as well) never became reality..... so it most likely has never been close to being build. so, anybody knows anything about this? |

I've seen the design before (that image), and I've seen a few other renditions of the same concept. IIRC they all fall into the category of "Physically possible, but practically impossible, with very limited use cases." |

that was exactly what I thought, I was like 'I cannot imagine why they would even suggest something like that!'

Well I have the book, indeed I've seen such artists impressions in another book, 'The Hybrid Warship' by Layman and McLaughlin, but as far as I can tell the sub on the cover is purely cover art, there are no other drawings or plans like that Skyhook submarine inside the book. But like I say such subs are shown as artists impressions in the Hybrid Warship book. |

Is the book any good? I've considered ordering it via the library. |

It's ok, it gives a good general overview of international developments up to the 1950s and features some never-built designs and gives some background on the aircraft too. Generally I was left wanting my info, esp technical specs etc but as a general read it does the job. It's worth a read. |

I have that book also, and as Hood said it is worth a read, and leaves you wanting more info. |

It's just cover art, although there was a doomed to fail concept for a skyhook Harrier carrier. |
