Just a drawing I'm doing.

It's a sub for short to medium-range escorts & patrols along a coast line. Still working on it, and I'd like to get some feedback on it.

I know the rudders & tail planes aren't normal, but I wanted something that would seperate it from all the other cookie-cutter subs I've seen.

Nice drawing. Just one thing.. aside from the rudder and tailing, it's pretty much a very standard sub..

It's a nice drawing, but I wonder whether your sub is coastline-material.
Personally, I've always thought of designing a manta-ray shaped sub that could actually hover a very short distance from the sea floor, be flexible so that it can deal with bumps and holes without distorting either its own profile, or that of the seabed.

Ah well..

(They can even fly!)

Dinsmark-class SSK

Bio:
Developed by the Hypersphere LTD conglomerate as a cheaper alterative to the Type 212 U-Boat, the Dinsmark-class SSK is a short to medium-range escort & patrol U-boat. Using comparable systems made by corporations within the Hypersphere LTD conglomerate to lower the costs, the Dinsmark-class SSK is capable of doing most jobs asked of the Type 212 U-boat. Unfortunately, due to the smaller size of the Dinsmark-class, the 212 can perform such duties for a longer period of time. Thankfully, this weakness is made up by the fact that the Dinsmark-class is significantly cheaper to purchase & operate.
