Talk:Submarine aircraft carrier

message: I have the impression "Aircraft-carrying submarine" (which means essentially a "Submarine, equipped with a few aircraft") would be a more accurate tittle than "Submarine aircraft carrier" (which means essentially an "Aircraft carrier, with submarine capability"). These boats are really submarines, first and foremost. Possibly only the Japanese I-400s would start to match the definition of a "Submarine aircraft carriers" (primarily designed to bring attack plane somewhere), as their name suggests in Japanese (潜水空母（せんすいくうぼ）Submarine aircraft carrier). Should only the I-400s be designated as Submarine aircraft carriers? PHG 22:20, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Dunno how to edit wiki, don't care to learn, but this is relevant.
:There ia an article on the Lockheed Martin Cormorant. Perhaps it could be mentioned here in passing, but it's really not relevant to the topic. - BillCJ (talk) 04:10, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Many ships carry aircraft (seaplanes, helicopters), but that does not make them aircraft carriers. Again, a brief metion is fine, assuming that is can be proven that the Cormorrant project is still active, as the sources in that artilce are out of date. - BillCJ (talk) 02:28, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I never understood why people use the term "Submarine aircraft carrier", because it makes no sense.  A "Submarine aircraft carrier" would be a ship (surface or submersible) that carries "submarine aircraft" - an aircraft that is also a submarine, or an aircraft that only "flies" underwater.  To my knowledge, there has never been (and probably never will be) any such thing.
"Aircraft carrier submarine" is the only term that makes sense for the intended subject - a submarine that carries aircraft, or an aircraft carrier that is a submarine.

message: tethered, to raise a periscope,  camera, antenna from submarine to improve sight. (I have read somewhere about it.) Should be mentioned under "See also".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Helium4 (talk • contribs) 06:14, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

message: In the section Type B1, it states that "I-25 conducted the only aerial bombings ever on the continental United States". However, the page linked to "only aerial bombings" states that "It was also the second time the continental United States was attacked by enemy aircraft during World War II, the first being the bombing of Dutch Harbor three months earlier.". Therefore, I am going to change this to "I-25 conducted the second aerial bombings ever on the continental United States – the first occurring during the Battle of Dutch Harbor – ... ". If this is actually incorrect, and the Lookout Air Raids and Battle of Dutch Harbor articles are incorrect, please let me know. Regards, DesertPipeline (talk) 03:37, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: It might be better to change the wording from continental to contiguous, as that is what is obviously meant. (Of course, Alaska not being a state until 1949 could be another wrinkle.) - The Bushranger One ping only 05:13, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

text: Hi The Bushranger. I'm not sure what you mean here exactly. Where should the change you mentioned be implemented? Thanks, DesertPipeline (talk) 17:32, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  Where it says "only aerial bombings ever on the continental United States". "only aerial bombings ever on the contiguous United States" is what is obviously meant (i.e. excluding Alaska). - The Bushranger One ping only 00:00, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, I think I see what you mean now :) Presumably the text enclosed in en dashes should also be removed? DesertPipeline (talk) 03:58, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  With that change the dashed text is probably no longer needed, yeah. - The Bushranger One ping only 04:15, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
