Nautilus - League of Extraordinary Gents - what do you think ?

[seawolf]

ok, seen the movie and 'impressed' by the Subs.
(think it will make lot of noise and cavitation in the real world eh), but despite of the exotic design, what do u guys think ?

first time I saw it I was thinking about Type XXI U-Boat.

When Ifirst saw it I was like " Daaammmnnn thats a big boat " !!!! but how would it ride that high on the surface ? or for the matter be propeled but threaded cones for props ?
Would be one #### of a project if it could be pulled off,

From seeing the movie twice, it looked to me that the NAUTILUS must have had hydroplanes - though I never saw any. In the scene where she is hove-to undergoing repair she seemed to ride at an appropriate height (that's freeboard, right?) When she was under way she rode the surface of the water.

or for that matter be propelled but threaded cones for props ?

I was wondering about that myself. The only way that would work would be as a turbine I would think. But I am far from being an expert.

Big boat (ever wonder how she can get submerge on the side of the pier on London ?)
