So now that the USA Navy is deploying underwater F/A-18 Super Hornet Battle Combat Ace Knight Super-D/X Series Mega Jets, how should we expect the situation in the Red Sea / Yemen conflict to develop? I understand that this is a situational deployment and usually planes like air, but obviously this is strategic. With the enemy deploying tactics like visiting their girlfriends at civilian apartments where they live, can we expect a water-to-civilian-land combat solution on the horizon?

edit* I am specifically requesting a War Thunder leak thanks

    The Navy cooked up all sorts of whack-a-doodle ideas that didn’t have a chance in hell of being feasible, much less useful, but that’s definitely the silliest I’ve seen in a while.

    • They weren’t the only ones back then by a long shot.

      Army: Chrysler TV-8 Nuclear-Powered Tank

      Air Force: The McDonnell XF-85 “Goblin”

      Marines: The Marine Corps’ Ultra Heavy-Lift Amphibious Connector (UHAC)

      There are weirder ones but I think these are definitely up there.
