I've seen this and wondered too but I can't find it on any plans or diagrams.
:laugh:

Cute???? CUTE!!!!! You think that is CUTE? Not, deadly? or streamline? or awe inspiring? You think it looks CUTE!!!!!!!!!!
What can it do? It can conduct stealth operations, inteligience gathering, it can delploy SBS (the SAS aren't man enough to deploy by submarine), it can engage in hunter killer operations with spearfish torpedoes that will allow it to engage any sea going surface vessel or sub-surface vessel. It can engage land targets with Tomahawk Block IV cruise missiles. It can carry Sub-harpoon missiles but doesn't because why use a missile against a ship if you can use a torpedo and ACTUALLY sink the target as opposed to mission kill it.
It has hugely advanced sonar arrays, a secret propulsor design (though crashing it into a sand bank probably damaged some of the secrets of the design), completely electronic periscopes etc to remove large sections of mechanical working parts for a periscope.
It can take Tomahawk block V which as well as being able to engage land targets will be able to engage surface targets.
And you think it is cute... Well I say to you Sir that if this was the 18 hundreds I would demand from you satisfaction. As it is I shall just fart in your general direction.... Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elder berries .
I've always wondered about Sub Harpoon, when did we stop using it?
It is a prototype couple for exchanging vital fluids between consenting ships. Saves on having to return to base for some 'relief'.

Our sonar is fantastic and I have never before experienced holding a submarine at the range we were holding USS New Mexico. The Americans were utterly taken aback, blown away with what they were seeing
