Drawing from the September 1983 Proceedings, "Sink the Navy" by Captain Charles C. Pease, U.S. Navy who in the 1963 Proceedings published a proposal for a submarine aircraft carrier, complete with catapults and arresting gears (15). Now that V/STOL technology is beginning to mature, the submersible aircraft carrier may be more feasible than she was 20 years ago. The first step toward a "sinkable" carrier might be a helicopter hangar installed in a submersible fleet auxiliary. (15) Clark C.
