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.
