The James Madison class ballistic missile submarine USS Sam Rayburn (SSBN-635) moored at Newport News, VA during the mid-1960s.

Stipa-Caproni: Italy’s Bizarre “Flying Barrel” , 1932
The Stipa-Caproni was an experimental airplane designed by the Italian aeronautical engineer and aircraft designer Luigi Stipa, and built by Caproni, an Italian aircraft manufacturer. Despite looking like a cartoon air plane, the Stipa-Caproni could fly, and was briefly studied by NASA.
