It generates aerodynamic lift with its gasbag shape. So it is a hybrid.Does that make Shrillary a hybrid too?

This would make an excellent ASW platform. Fill it with sona-bouys and it could hover over a hostile sub totally unaware that it was being tracked. Give the patrol aircraft a break.

Yes, good idea.
But the USN version would be four times as expensive,
carry half the payload,
have half the range,
half the speed,
and be delivered twice in the schedule, years late.
But it would be built to MILSPECs, so it would “have to be good” in half the time , right?

Hell, that means that Rosie O’Donnell, whoopee Goldberg, Michele Obama and Hillary Clinton constitute a fleet of blimps.

Yeah, but what most people forget is the Hindenburg was painted. A powdered iron oxide red primer coat, and a powdered aluminum shiny top coat. Holy Schnikes! A Thermite encased non-atomic H-bomb!
They really had a winner there in regards to passenger safety. I can't believe they did that. What morons.
