Surfing the web and came across one of Mike Sparks old articles...
Hate the guy, luv the guy...whatever. But he did his research on military history and found some fascinating concepts that were tried and discarded.
The idea of using subs and helicopters is one of them. Of course he carried it a step too far but his foundation was solid.
The Japanese had submarine aircraft carriers and with our current state of technology the experiments carried out in the 50's might be workable today. Imagine instead of carrying a SEAL Insertion Vehicle (or whatever they're calling their mini-subs these days) you instead carried a Night Stalker Little Bird? Or two?
Sound crazy? The Navy and Marine Corps didn't think so...at least during the 50's. Perhaps they were bolder and more capable of thinking outside the box than we are today.
