This is way different that what I thought you were talking about.
I imagined a torpedo that fliped out wings and became an air born cruise missle flying over the waves.
I just signed up to be able to view more pictures from "Janes" - very cool website.
I have Jane's: "Surface Skimmers 1976-77" and "High-Speed marine Craft and Air Cushion Vehicles 1987". Very expensive books that I've spoiled myself with over the years. Paid $175 in 1977, $350 in 1987, last time I checked it was nearing $600 for the book I wanted. I don't think most public libaries can afford these rates anymore.
