Looks something like the Merrimack of Civil War fame
Didn’t the Merrimack sink during a storm?

If they could make the F-117 fly I’m sure they can make this thing float.

Didn’t the Merrimack sink during a storm? That was the Monitor. Merrimack was burned twice. Once by the Union to keep her from falling into Confederate hands, and again by the Confederates (as CSS Virginia) to keep her from falling into Union hands.

So it will be extremely stable when turned ‘turtle’. (180° out of intended trim) :^

No it was USS Monitor that sank in a storm. USS Merrimack was burned at Norfolk Naval Shipyard. When the Confederates took over the yard, they raised the Merrimack, rebuilt her and christened her CSS Virginia.
