Just imagine placing these in choke points or outside harbors just waiting for the activation signal.

Next Big Future needs a lesson in German U-Boats. The German Type VII submarine, one of which is pictured in the article, were approximately 67 meters long, not feet.

Suspect our Russian and Chinese friends are already advanced and potentially deploying these advanced platforms.

"U-boats dominated the seas for several years due to the fact that thousands were produced."

Who writes this crap? If they had produced "thousands" rather than the hundreds they did produce we'd have had a much tougher time in the Atlantic and it was tough enough as it was. If they had even had the several hundred Donetz was promised he'd have before starting the war they'd have easily starved Englind into a negotiated settlement early on.

German subs were way longer than 40 feet.

40-60 meters, not feet.

Wouldn't a submersible 'barge' accomplish the same?(And, I'd be surprised if we didn't have them already deployed at stategic points)
