What really got them was our final chapter where we proposed different possible non-ballistic-missile uses for the hull!

Shouldn’t be to hard to detect that motor no matter how much they insulate it.

Seriously?

Define “shouldn’t be too hard”.

I think it will be extremely difficult.

That’s the whole point of the new design!

How can you be so cavalier about this and by what credentials do you have to judge off the cuff like that?

The Electric Boat company has been building submarines since 1899 and built subs for the US Navy in both World Wars. The name stems from the fact that they always have been electrically powered when underwater and in the navy’s inscrutable wisdom, they don’t deserve to be called “a ship,” ergo they’re just boats.

They only became General Dynamics Electric Boat after WWII. They built the Nautilus (the world’s first nukular-powered pigboat) and since the early 1970s have been one of only to companies that build subs for the US.

What are you even talking about?

What is “it”?

Are you a native English speaker?

Stop commenting if you don’t have anything intelligent to say.

US Navy submarines are called boats because the original submarines were launched from another ship and were in fact boats. As submarines got larger the traditional name stuck.

Other navies in the world sometimes refer to their submarines as ships.
