dockwise 'Type Zero' super semi-sub heavy lift transport

[klagldsf]

Submarines don't have anchors because they really are either at port or in such deep sea it's just not gonna happen when they're stationary. Submarines are a lot like sharks - you're either moving, or you're gonna get a homing torpedo up your butt! Plus, tonnage is most at a premium on a submarine, and not to mention pressure hulls (though it's conceivable it could be attached outside the pressure hull).

But as far as 'Type Zero' is concerned - my best guess is that they just didn't bother to render it on the CGI images. But since these type of ships do spend quite a bit of time in stationary waters, I'd imagine there'd be one eventually - but I wouldn't mind holding it off.

Plus, it appears some of these ships have hatches for anchors, similar to how many "stealth" ships do.

It'll need anchors for the very good reason that no insurance company will touch it with a ten foot pole if it doesn't.

Modern submarines have flush-mount anchors in the cladding forward of the forward pressure bulkhead. Here is an example.

wow, didn't know that

I love this design, and was hoping someone would draw it to SB standards. Ypu cold even make a Military variant, as a Mobile Landing Platform.

A top view would be great as well btw.

top view will be made when more data is available, right now it isn't that detailed from top, so.......
an military version... well I think this ship isn't too suitable for that. ALVAMA is worked on an MLP as far as I know, and I will maybe make 1 or 2 concepts and one for my AU, but this one..... just no
