      I have an old copy of an all submarine Scale Ship Modeler from the early 80's. It had an article on a British M1 submarine that was used in RC combat...Interesting idea.......

          I have seen the warships that shoot the BB's its pretty fun to watch. Replaceable balsa panels are easy to replace to reset for the next battle.
