So...... would that be considered a biplane jet since it has two sets of wings? ;)

The correct term would be "tandem wing".
And by the way, aircraft transported mini-sub is not a new concept. I can't find a link right now but I remember reading about a similar projects developed by the Soviets in the 1930's.

Really? I know they tried the airdropped tank concept (didn't work as well as they envisioned). Didn't know they tried it with subs too.

Another fine Neverland Submarine concept:

The Stealth submarine "NS Sneekie".

The Sneekie has a regular old looking boat attactched to their periscope. When they are moving in on an enemy vessel, the raise the periscope and the boat to the surface. Put a couple sailors in civvies in the boat with some fishing poles and a cooler of beer, make them look all innocent and such, and they just casually and slowly "drift" towards the enemy ship. The periscope itself is disguised as a "mast" in the boat, maybe even put a silly Kegger On Board flag on it. When they are in range, the Sneekie blasts the bejeebers out of the unsuspecting enemy with their bow mounted underwater laser cannon.

The 747, in all of its incarnations posted on the database, were done by Darth Panda, but as aircraft are considered "parts" here they're typically not credited on the parts sheet. Honestly I'd like to see different, but constraints on the template prevent it for the time being.
