Aircraft carriers need dedicated AA Ships just to defend them, while underwater battleships don't.

Someone please tell me what this mutated nightmarish contraption is

French interwar "submarine cruiser".
There were times when various countries experimented a lot with some crazy ideas.

Which country(ies) didn't?

We're these subs actually decent? I remember hearing that the IJN had a plan to bomb the Panama Canal with them and it was actually underway when we nuked Hiroshima.

They were waste of material.

>Which country(ies) didn't?
To be honest French and Japanese were the only ones who tried to check if "FUCKHUGE SUBMARINE" concept works.
>>32677687
Well, I was mainly wondering about which ones refrained the crazy ideas in general, not just subs.

Even in Disney movies, submarines are cursed to die

Once under water a battleship has little need for AA cover.

Russians wanted to make transport/land assault sub but didn't get in early enough and were way to late
>>32677652
Thats not the i400, the i400 carried 3 planes.
>>32677675
I400 and I401 were on their way but was halted by the surrender, captain shot himself and the dumped the planes in the ocean to prevent capture (also because they were painted in American insignias).

Hi!

I've honestly been fascinated with whether this is technically viable, even if it'd be overpriced and low-utility.
Not like pic-related though, I'm thinking just with VTOLs.
