The author has posted many shark toothed aircraft, many I have not seen before, there is even a PT Boat - no hovercraft though.

Bite Me!
Bite Me! > Vintage Wings of Canada



Quote:
There are many instances of the application of a snarling skull, shark, fish or animal mouth on aircraft of the First World War, but it seems that it was up to the discretion of individual pilots and observers. It was in these early years that it became evident that painting your airplane in such a manner gained the public’s interest when photographed and printed in newspapers. People loved the sense of humour, the aggressive attitude and in the case of skull heads, the nightmarish vision. ..................

Dave O’Malley

We could not possibly showcase even a small fraction of the instances of its use, but if you have a special image you would like to see added to this repository, send it along with a written caption of no less than 20 words, and we will add it to the project. Here now is a tribute the greatest nose art of all time—the shark mouth.

The VS-5 Versuchs Schnellboot Experimental Semi Submersible Torpedo Boat.
https://civilianmilitaryintelligencegroup.com/14723/the-vs-5-versuchs-schnellboot-experimental-semi-submersible-torpedo-boat



Quote:
The VS-5 was one of many experimental fast torpedo boats. Many of them were hydrofoils and others were designed as semi-submersibles. It was called the Versuchs Schnellboot. It was supposed to have a 20mm cannon and two 21 inch torpedo tubes. There is little information beyond this prototype.

Military Analysis: Zolfaqar.

Quote:
"The IRGC also displayed a semi-submersible torpedo boat called the Zolfaqar. Such vessels are not considered to be true submarines because they need to keep a snorkel above the water to feed oxygen to their engines . . .
Some really cool stuff at this website below.

Used to love watching "The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau" when I was a kid. I wanted that job on the helicopter!

Me too, loved to watch the series.

In my early years in the Navy (circa late 70's) the Calypso came for a port visit in Halifax.

Just like anybody that visit the Alamo, I could not believe how small the ship was...
