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.
