Here
is the N1 Sea Abrams (Known unofficially as the “laden swallow”).
The design followed the requirement by the Navy for a vehicle that would
be able to penetrate the enemy’s anti-aircraft defenses.
I shaved down the tires to give
it a realistic “sit”.

In
testing the Sea Abrams proved to be invulnerable to every known conventional
anti-aircraft system and was rushed into production and deployed with the fleet.
It reportedly fly’s like a tank, has very short range, lacks
all weather capability.
Of
course.....for aircraft Carrier operations.....a tail hook is critical.
