BILD Zeitung, Tuesday, 01.st April 2008:
“ German Navy considers stealthy aircraft carriers
For their growing international committment, the german armed forces see the need for
procuring at least one aircraft carrier during the next five years. Due to the risks for
such high-value targets the german minister of defence announced, that the industry
is developing a new type of ship, that combines the features of a submersible carrier
with the lower costs of a conventional ship of that type. In the result, at least the
aircraft complement can be hidden under water. The idea stems from a french company
and was originally meant for seaplanes. Due to the secrecy of the new design, just a
drawing of this original idea was shown on press conference today”
