I am very certain rail guns don't spout flames - other than that looks like a Civil War Ear ironclad.

Japan did that in WW2. The look on our faces wasn't pretty.

The article headline is a bit misleading. The technology of the IJN I-400 submarine class, impressive as it was (even more so since the Allies didn't even know about them until after the war), was more along the lines of large aircraft-carrying submarine vice "giant underwater aircraft carrier."

It may yet happen:
It's a proposed airship called the "Walrus" and the Army is looking at the feasibility of such a ship. It would be over a football field in length as per the graphic above. Check it out at Gizmag.com

Snagged a piece of the Macon, South of Monterey on a fishing trip once.At what depth? My understanding is MBA unmanned submersibles had photographed one of Macon's Sparrowhawks (more or less intact!) on the bottom amidst the wreckage but IIRC, that was several 1,000's of feet down.
Here's one of Macon's F9Cs 'hooking up' after a scouting sortie:

It's not that deep I don't recall exactly. My best buddy was working on the Point Lobos when MBARI made that trip. I am sure video is around I'll ping him for info.

I don't think they'd have any trouble getting them quite a bit below that if they ordered a thousand of them... Or how about making these available for sale to the general public (US citizens only). :D
To: Pharmboy
Shhhhhh!
Not so loud, or everyone will be volunteering for Sub Duty.
