So going off the random thoughts I had on the Tzar tank, my brain pondered a 'what if' of history that I want to propose to folks to comment on. What if the United States funded, developed and invested in the Turtle design during/after the American Revolution? And kept problem solving it through the years? Do you think it would have changed in time US navy policy/construction? Like my thought is given a lot of early US navy policy was local water defense and such a more developed turtle or proto-esque sub like submarisable would be a good fit possibly? Maybe not as we know subs but for partial submersion defense?
