The Wikipedia article on Project Nobska claims that a nuclear powered 500 ton midget submarine and destroyer were proposed at the meeting, as well as a fuel cell powered submarine. Some Norman Friedman books are cited for this, so there might be something to these claims, but I haven't been able to find anything more, and I don't have the books to reference. I was wondering if anyone might know more about these proposals, even if only to confirm that they were actually made and seriously considered.
