I like it! A carrier/cruiser/minisub mothership mashup. Kind of a precursor to today's modern LHD.

I couldn't separate the picture though. :mad: I did manage, however, to separate these from the Ebay pictures. The bidding closed already. :'(

It was called the "Roo". It was envisioned as a "super-dreadnought"

Holy "putting all your eggs in one basket!"
 
Clearly this borrowed from a lot of other speculation and literature...

...but what are 'Stratosphere guns' (turrets marked number 14... lowest of the midship gun turrets, but still superfiring over the two pairs of aft turrets)?
