The Navy Times has a new blog, The Scoop Deck, and one of their first finds really is a doozy. Apparently, some Chinese navy enthusiasts have proposed a giant, submarine aircraft carrier, carrying 40 fighter jets - this according to the blog China Military Report.
How feasible is this thing? According to reporter Phil Ewing,
this monster also carries 36 submarine-launched ballistic missiles, serves as a mother-ship for fast-attack submarines, can travel at the speed of light, changes Pepsi to Coke, finds your car keys, achieves perpetual motion and assures you the check's in the mail.
China Military Report's posts on the subject really are worth a gander, for the laughs, alone.

Like this proposals from Boeing:

Actually, the Japanese employed aircraft carrying submarine in WW2... it would be an outstanding capability if anyone could perfect it! Here's an example of a real life British one from WW2.
