The Main idea: a submarine of the size between a hunter/killer sub and a boomer but of the shape of a very aerodynamic spaceship.
It would have cavitators placed all over the hull to ensure a (allmost) complete cavitation bubble around the ship. The ship would be powered by an aneutronic boron fusion reactor. Propulsion would be offered by an magnetohydrodynamic drive system for shallow/tight waters and some sort of underwater jetengine, which would directly vaporize seawater with reactor plasma and provide the required thrust for supercavitation speed. What do you guys think? |
