About this ebook
A preface notes the dangers to carrier task forces and surface fleets. We consider the carrier in many ways an obsolete, overrated platform. The US investment requires a fix to protect surface vessels: to wit the flying mini-sub. Chapter 1 briefly mentioned the flying sub of the Seaview flown by Admiral Nelson and Captain Crane on TV. We view this design very unlikely and impractical for today's mission. We propose a flying helicopter mini-sub, carrying two standard torpedoes and a Gatling type gun that fires sea darts at torpedoes, or sea dart warheads on standard torpedoes for large vessels. The engine, exhaust, fuel, flight requirements, tactical methods, advantages over large attack submarines are all discussed. We next discuss submarine lifeboats for merchant and naval vessels. We note these as more seaworthy than surface boats, that one or two ships are lost at sea each week, often with all hands lost. Cap gun rockets is the next topic. We use forward mounted cannon on warplanes to slow the plane more quickly upon landing, giving them STOL capabilities. These make recovering these planes after long range missions more feasible, dispersing defensive power more efficiently. We use cap gun ammo to ignite fuel forward upon landing in controlled mini-bursts. The last topic discusses naval strategy with respect to the interface between attack submarines and aircraft carriers. Chapter 2 is a summation of the basic ideas, their feasibility and cost advantages.

I write for my health and the health of the world. Often the cure rivals the disease in grief and aches. My writing career started at twelve when I attempted to write a sequel to Huckleberry Finn but never finished it. My writings have included poetry, plays, a novel, non-fiction and writing newsletters for here and there. Recently, I am dabbling into short stories. Apart from newsletters, nothing has been published in print. I bought an audio recording of one of my poems but threw it away in disgust due to an inappropriate reading by the narrator. 'Contra Pantheism...' was my first eBook. About a hundred eBooks have been published since including some books of verse, and my essays collected into five volumes, and one volume of collected poems. A few other types of literature are on my list of published works. My essays deal with fundamental questions of philosophy as well as natural philosophy (science.) On the whole, my works are as far above the writings of Plato and Aristotle as the material power of the United States is over that of Ancient Greece. I once asked myself if I had ever written anything memorable, but couldn't remember exactly what I had written. I started to check my manuscripts but stopped as it seemed the answer to the question was obvious. Gore Vidal mentioned in one of his memoirs that writers tend to forget what they write and are a bad source to ask about their works. Gore knew a lot of writers. I have not and may have been a bit hard on myself. Apart from self-improvement and maybe making a few bucks, my main goal is to bring about a golden age for mankind. Being a man, this sounds appealing. It is pointless to desist and all small measures are worth the effort. Albert Camus thought suicide the only serious philosophical question. He was a fool and died young. Suicide is a waste of time. The most important functional question is: How do I get what I want? The one question that trumps this is the ultimate question of intent: What should I want? As Goethe pointed out: Be careful what you wish for in your youth, you might get it in middle age.
