Reading up on the GM 6046 diesel several years ago I was surprised to see the concept was sketched up by the British purchasing commission as a power option for a proposed US built version of the Matilda II. The very limited information I have read indicated that the US was not interested in...

yeah I bet you can't guess The I-351 and her sister sub the I-352 were laid down as flying boat tender submarines, but converted during construction to tanker subs. Original specifications, design docs and illustrations itt

The Ha-101 class submarines were laid down as transport submarines, but during construction were converted into tanker submarines, small submarine motherships/tenders, and radar picket subs. Any specifications or illustrations of the intended original design would be bussin...
