Default Let's design one ourselves

Imagine that just for a moment we were all on a design team for General Dynamics and the US Navy had an extra 1.5 billion dollars in it's secret budget for us to play with ... What kind of submarine could we come up with?

Remember now it takes at least ten (10) years to scratch build a nuclear submarine.

I did this in some leisure time I had back in 1995, you know just on paper and then a friend told me it would take twenty years to complete the project. He busted my bubble and I gave up.

The project? To build a seaplane so big it could take off with two small diesel submarine's and drop them off anywhere in the world in a matter of hours.

What would ya'll suggest?

Perhaps we could stay closer to reality by using present day technology the Seawolf and Virginia have provided.
