I don't mean this to sound like it is going to sound, but it somehow
it figures that the Japanese could figure out a way to fit four
airplanes into a small confined space folded up like origami.

What's wrong with that? Seems to me you are calling the
Japanese smart & creative. Origami is cool.

Hey you never know around this NG. :)

I have a child (now grown up, but I still think of them as children)
who is really into origami - started in the 5th grade and kept it up
all through high school and well past college into med school and
still does it as a hobby.

She's really good at it. Amazes me how a plain simple piece of paper
can be folded, twisted and formed into a piece of art.

Once did a 6 foot high origami sculpture from large pieces of
construction paper.

Quite kewl.

If you look at the stern of that sub it looks a lot like the Typhoon
class Soviet subs.

From the article, "The huge double hull was formed of parallel cylindrical
hulls so that it had a peculiar lazy-eight cross section, and may have
inspired the Soviet Typhoon-class built some 40 years later. "

Yeah I know - that's what made me look closely at it.

Later,
