Most of your videos are “Things you’ve seen in Ace Combat, that could have actually been real”, and I love it.
There is a real life counterpart to the Alicorn… the I-400 Class carrier submarine. 3 dive bomber aircraft.
@@SpheroJr3289 although I love the i-400, the alicorn would be way better, two years without surface, railguns, missile system, as guns, drones, electronic warfare, shield drones, up to twenty fighters with pilots that no valuate their life kinda much, nukes, and a plan to end this war in an elegant manner. Is like saying that a horses car is the counterpart of a F1 racing car
@@simplementepersona i-400 pilots probably didn't value there life that much over the empire, as a lot of Japanese soldiers did.
@@the_stinky_broccoli8998 neither do the alicorn crew... They were taking off when the submarine were still emerging and they were human shields, not to talk that carrying 20 planes which can take off in squadrons + drones that can take off while underwater makes it more powerful
@@SpheroJr3289 Honestly, I'd consider the I-400 to be more like the Scinfaxi-class submarines than the Alicorn, as it rather lacked a flight deck, and would have launched floatplanes (or planes with no way of landing safely, as the pontoons were actually removed during storage, and could be omitted for faster launches), while the Alicorn clearly had the ability to have its aircraft land back on it like a regular carrier, despite us never seeing any do so. They also share the similarity of also fulfilling more traditional submarine roles, as the I-400 had torpedo tubes, and the scinfaxi class being a ballistic missile submarine, while the Alicorn's mode of operation was more in line with a surface warship that happens to be able to submerge.
Sure, the Scinfaxi-class presumably also could have its aircraft land back on it, but that's only because it used VTOL aircraft and UAVs (the latter of which may have forgone recovery), but it's still a matter of an alternative method of landing, as the I-400 did have the ability to recover its aircraft after they landed on the water.

The concept is quite unique. The ability to sneak aircraft around & deploy them from unexpected locations via a submarine. Imagine a stealth fighter hitting its target. Vanishing from sight, then vanishing beneath the waves.
What would be the advantage to that over submarine launched cruise missile or ballistic missile?

The USN scuttled them after doing a detailed study to prevent the Russians from trying to take them as their own prizes even though it was the US that accepted the surrender and had jurisdiction over the Japanese home islands and any remaining Japanese military assets, hence why Nagato was present at Operation Crossroads as a target.
France also had Surcouf which carried a folding wing biplane for spotting and a large number Japanese submarines actually had small seaplane hangars for recon and spotting, as did a number of Royal Navy submarines such as the M-class. Most other nations had experimented with the concept and the Germans had several designs drawn up by late WWII.

Lol japan made three sub carriers. They had plans on making 18 altogether to attack usa mainland
The planes will run out of fuel and need to land , has that been thought of ? 🤔 They better have a better idea or else back to the drawing board
The major problem is to start and land while the carrier is submerged.

I've just finished watching the flying aircraft carrier episode before watching this, and the interesting thing about both is that they "could work" with the small drones we have now.
The French also had a submarine that could launch an aircraft and had a battery that would nominally be fitted on a cruiser. The sub was called Surcouf

The Japanese I-400 class did NOT fail, they were just too late in the war to have much effect. The DID bomb both Oregon and Washington, but they didn't cause all that much damage.
As technology they worked. As weapons ...... they seemed to lack a mission. Properly employed , in the right place and time the I-400 could have been a great force multiplier. Their 4 plane air group couldn't throw much weight but has enough punch to do some really useful things. The ships worked. In my opinion, at that time, there were more important things to use those resources on. A neat thing for Japan to develop.
psychological warfare weapon, at best.
@@daleeasternbrat816 Its mission was to be a delivery platform for biological warfare.
I-400 did not launch planes against the West Coast. Do your research and resubmit your response.
I agree, it was not I-400 class, it was a 2-digit "I" class (smaller submarine that could carry 1 aircraft).
“Alicorn spotted! It’s surfacing!”
sometimes imagination can come true, but Japan has proven it when it attacks America
like when certain teachers forget to teach the bit about why japan attacked..the usa attacked and sunk a defenseless hospital ship. it was retaliation. like your imagination though.
Then we imagined the splitting of the atom…..
The Japanese actually developed such a sub during ww2.
Japan will not attack us you fool.theres a load of reasons why,but to list a few key reasons,one they are allied,and two,they don't exactly get along with China,who does not exactly get along with us,and an enimy of my enimy must surely be my friend.in other words,Japan has more reasons to be allied than they do to be enimies
and aside from that,in WW2,we did do some deplorable shit to japan.up to and including dropping two nukes on them,that caused the created myth of godzilla.we have sence then made peace with them,and are proud to call them allies.after all,they was tactically smart enough to pull off the pearl harbor assault,they will make a powerful Ally in future wars.
I Have to admit as a former Army Light infantrymen, the concept of strapping US Marines to a rocket and firing them off the deck of a submarine like a Wile-E Coyote cartoon, Is greatly entertaining to me! I would definitely pay a dollar to see that happen!

I always wonder what make Project Aces, the developer for Ace Combat game franchise, get ideas for their Scinfaxi, Alicorn, etc, aircraft carrier submarine from. Remembering that the I-400 that their ancestor built is anything like them. But now I know
You know now?
6:40 The could have used a braking chute deployed by the tail cone to slow the bomb to skim across the water on the recovery vessel's port side. Then inflate a float to keep the bomb buoyant until recovery.
The deployed chute floating on the water's surface would visually indicate its position, and a radio emitter could beep every 2 minutes until receiving a signal to increase it's transmission rate to every 3-5 seconds or so.
It could even release a colored shark repellant to deter "aquatic interference" with the crew while they pulled it back onto the sub.
And Marvel Comics has its " Helicarrier" flying aircraft carrier.

Go for it! Submersible battleships, that’s something I’d like to see!
I don’t know what’s cooler, a submersible aircraft carrier (like the last one with the twin sails) or a flying one…..
The possibilities are endless!
lots of aircraft carrier concepts on my channel lately haha
Why not have both? Aircraft carriers in the sky, aircraft carriers on the water, and aircraft carriers underneath the sea. A triple whammy of aircraft carriers.
We already have flying ones, the tic tac ufo is just a small cigar shaped anti gravity carrier craft for smaller triangle and other shaped anti gravity craft. I served with the Navy and was right up beside and inside those ships, that’s why the recent ufo/UAP report pisses me off so much. I KNOW they’re lying again to just keep the coverup going and it pisses me off, but yeah they’re pretty cool once you start understanding what the black military world has actually been doing with aerospace projects that are ACTUALLY cutting edge, it’s miles past what most people think is even possible, if people only knew what we have RIGHT NOW, it would absolutely blow their mind.
Submersible is cheaper because you don't need to constantly use fuel to keep an aircraft carrier flying in the sky. Unless your taking about Space Battle carriers. That is 10x better than either one.
@@dustynmyatt2679 you my friend believe too much, the UFO phenomenon is pure theatre just another tool in the tool box, psychological warfare.
Not designed for its citizens. It’s designed for the country’s enemies. Is it real is it not. Can we really attack them successfully etc.
GE got it right, its even more accurate today considering we could reduce the human footprint on board with the sub design to include more UAV
Nah, it needs more nukes on it
The general electric flat deck design does seem the most feasible, and it does seem like it would serve a unique and beneficial purpose
This makes two Carrier concepts that never seen the light of day.

"How big would you like to build your submarine?"
Japan Empire: Yes
"Okay perhaps you don't get it, how big would you want your battleship be?"
Japan Empire: Yes
There is a need for this concept. Sure the traditional aircraft carrier should be a visible powerhouse. But if real war erupts those will be primary targets. Using a force multitude they will fall in the early days. You'll be left with these that were kept secret and are not visible. So yea there is a need for these. They are secret and last ditch and for that reason we will most likely never see them.
Except they have zero purpose when SSGNs exist. A submarine's entire purpose is to never be detected. SSGNs are already announcing their position when firing, but at least they can do so underwater and quickly reposition; all this idea does is get them killed. What if the sub is found? Does it dive to save itself, leaving the aircraft to die? Or does it get both killed by waiting? The only benefit they could have over cruise missiles is precision, but is "precision" worth it when you can only carry 1/10 the firepower of the standard ~dozen VLS tubes? Cruise missiles don't need maintenance rooms, fuel/ammo storage, crews and their quarters, or large launching platforms/runways. All they need is a VLS, and however many reloads you want stored in all that unused space.
@@Nighthawk2401 if we're going to go the VLS missile system then why don't you mention the Arsenal ships at all because those things were essentially aircraft carrier sized platforms with a small section for the minimal crew to live and maintain the engines and possibly run air defenses if it had them, and the rest hundreds to thousands of VLS tubes with actual guidance and firing solutions controlled by a second ship.
@@Shinzon23
A pretty cool idea, but also a little pointless. If you need 500 cruise missiles for land attack, use existing fleet supply vessels to rearm other VLS-armed ships at sea.
Though at that point, it might be better to just let the air force handle it.
If large fully autonomous stealthy drones can be launched while submerged, why not.
@@davidbocquelet-dbodesign
It's still just an issue of role. A submarine's strength in land attack is it's ability to go behind enemy lines and hit large industrial and strategic targets then escape before the missiles even start landing. Strike craft are meant for precision CAS, and stealth aircraft will always have to pick between stealth and weapon storage. You don't go far behind enemy lines to kill a few tanks, why not bring tomahawks to hit major targets? And once again, retrieval of aircraft is a pain the ass.
I just got the whole, "...depth, and I suggest you sail over to check out their brilliant documentary. Preferably while enjoying a sub sandwich with plenty of mustard." That's actually a really good play on words. It has a lot of DEPTH.

I had no idea that the idea of a submarine aircraft carrier was so developed.

Fascinating as usual.

@@valian8985 how do you know? Any firsthand experience sir?
I think there is some plausibility for a sensitive cargo transport. basically the idea is that you build a large not so stealthy-stealthy submarine that has a large deck like this, but it is designed to deploy a lot of cargo in an amphibious assault.
Minor nitpick : As far as I can tell, General Dynamics/Electric Boat is a completely separate company from General Electric.
GE was founded by Thomas Edison in 1892.
Electric Boat was founded in 1899 and acquired later by General Dynamics (which itself was not founded till 1952).
@17:47, GE has never been known as General Dynamics or Electric Ships. General Dynamics still exists and is one of the top defense contractors in the US. There is a division of General Dynamics called Electric Boat that designs and manufactures submarines for the US Navy. General Electric could well have been involved in this project but it would have been for the supply of reactors and propulsion equipment for the sub.
Just made the same comment before coming across yours. I used to work for GD, and it has never been a part of GE.
@20:41 That's the *Nimitz* Class. Not Nizmit lol.
I love how he mentioned Mustards channel in a discret but understandable way.
GE's design seems to be the most practical to me, turinging a Air Craft carrier into a submarine and use STOVAL aircraft as its airwing.

I am a Marine Colonel and a retired Professor of Electro-Optics, Plasma physics and Quantum Electrodynamics, so I do know very elementary high school level physics. A flat surface, to an extreme degree a lage flat surface is inherently very weak. The steel required to sufficiently strengthen such a large surface would completely destroy any possible balance to the submarine.
The animations in this video are next level!
Wait so Space Battleship Yamato Cosmo Zero's folding storage system was inspired by the modified seadart fighter in 9:40? 15:11 in the ova Macross Zero there was a modified sub which uses similar launch methods for its fighter launches.

The reason the submarine aircraft carrier didn't take off( pun intended) was because of Submarine Doctrine. Doctrine for Subs are to be about as silent as possible and for your only warning that it was there was when you heard the torpedo's propeller kick in. They value stealth over thing else. The idea of spending so much time above the water as a sitting duck just doesn't jibe with submarine's strengths and weaknesses. THAT is why Submarine Aircraft Carriers, even though a cool idea never took off.
While that is one small reason, it is not the deciding factor like you claim. You’re horribly misinformed. The U.S. military absolutely were looking for a way to quietly get aircraft into an area, the fact they could land, and slip back beneath the waves to safety is what they wanted. Which is exactly what a sub like this could do. Would you rather launch planes from a carrier where your enemy can literally watch you fly back and have your location and track you? Or would you rather be able to go back, land, and disappear? Your opinion isn’t fact, stop presenting it as such.
@@tylerdavis9826 do you know how long it would take this submarine to store the aircraft and dive? :) The while idea is poorly conceived.
@@rhodesboyson1700 I think today. With the technology with vertical take off. The harrier tec now moved into things like the F-35. Maybe you don't get to a full dedicated carrier. But could you make room for a few jets. But I do think with cruise missiles for example. I mean you can launch them and not have to surface to recover. So that is a fair point. I think with the sub/carrier. Maybe the issue is this. Without the biggest and toughest kids on the block slugging fists. Like the world wars. Maybe not untill a war like that comes around again. Would the idea be explored and truly found out if it works. Our carrier groups have not had to slug it out with a equal with all the same abilities since the second world war. I don't know how it would turn out. But I think its something that should be re examined with the seriousness that it was in the past.
@@thomasvontom I've forgot what I said :P but, I do wonder what is the point. It's really only a load of crap. The vast expenditure isn't worth it, in reality we don't need this war machine. My dad just died of cancer he got working on UK subs. Sent to die for absolutely nothing.
@@rhodesboyson1700 Well. Sorry for you loss dude. I don't know what the nature of it would be if it worked. But I think it's a idea worth exploring further. Sorry for you loss.
This is amazing!! Dave
"be warned, this one's kind of silly" that's why we're at this channel lol
Exactly. I can easily forgive a few errors for these beautifully rendered videos of insane ideas people have had.
I feel like it cpuld work now

Ah, finally the idea of the U-Kreuzer returns!
Oh come on we already made the Harrier, this was practically a match made in heaven
Oh gosh, just 46 seconds in and the animations are already so many and all so smooth. Well done!
Whoever predicted in the previous post that it might be an aircraft carrier, bravo.
Bravo
Bravo
Captain Nemo comin' back HARD!
This is the first time I'm watching one of your videos. Your segues into sponsorship and the dad jokes therein are admirable.
Awesome video! I do really wanna learn about submarine battleships now! I remember that both the British and French experimented with putting gun turrets on submarines in WW1 and WW2 respectively :).
Yes, though they where considered to be cruisers. Drachinfel has good videos on both (the French one is called "Surcouf" and I think the British ones where the M15?).
The tail sitting circular wing design would be perfect for a submarine launch tub.
Martin's V-Bat and electric version have been unnoticed for so long with best drone desgin by leaps and bounds.
This is just the Alicorn from Ace Combat 7 without railguns, from the 1950's-1960's and has a boxy shape
Having been a cold war, Era "boomer" sailor, I can tell you that the more numerous and larger the surface area required to seal that area, the more likely that seawater inleakage would be insurmountable.
