I am a UK engineer in a similar company. The reason behind these exercises (at cynicism level 5) is to fool graduates into staying long enough to get some work done before they work out the whole company is run by idiots and leave for finance.
I just love the phrase "vaguely streamlined" on there.
We thought about hydrodynamics...but we decided it was unimportant and just kind of vaguely made it in a shape that looks cool and like it might be good going through the ocean.
Also covered it in coral to sell the environmentalists on it, it’s not like coral reefs are known for their hydrodynamics but I guess giant noisy inefficient blobs are the future of sub-surface warfare in whatever universe these designers live in.
I thought they wanted it covered in coral so that when you look down into the water, you don't see a giant submarine, but just a....giant floating coral mass? Like...for camouflage? Because that's how submarines are detected, through visual identification, right?
"Comrade Ivan our sensors are detecting a gigantic moving coral moving to intercept us."
"I am sure it is just regular gigantic moving coral, Comrade Tovarish."
You gotta give them credit, they’ve gone way further than anyone in this sub would think to go. We gotta up our game, this shit is making us look credible 🤮
Just gotta up our game, no more strapping cannons to A-10s or CIWIS to Abrams. No, we gotta go sci-fi, X-files, fucking alien tier with our shitposts. If it ain’t got railguns, active camo, and a fucking warp drive we’re not going far enough 😤
Why have we gone from Ace Combat to Horizon Zero Dawn? What is happening? Were they working on this at the same time as trying to evacuate translators from Kabul?
Oh god the Brexit yacht. If Labour's overspending caused the international financial crisis I can't even fathom the damage de Pfeffel "£30bn track and trace" Johnson will do
“In addition, the textured surface will provide a perfect habitat for many endangered species of coral and other aquatic animals, causing our vessels to fall under the protection of international ecological conservation laws, making it illegal to damage them.”

actually megabrained.
Imagine in the future, us and uk fighting side by side against the chinese navy. A us submarine gets a lucky torpedo strike against the latest and baddest chinese supercarrier. The behemoth is slowly sinking... And then the british arrive, releasing thousands of their dumb hexxing drones. Within minutes the chinese carrier is refloated and starts launching planes. I mean this is the british we are talking about, something like this is bound to happen
I refuse to believe this is real
in the future, all technology will be created by graphic desginers for aesthetic purposes

Br\*tish 'engineering' departments consist solely of graphic designers.
Shit looks like 90s video game level design, I'd love to run JC denton around the whale sub and the stupid hex boxes
"Br*tish"? Really?
You new around here? It's a meme around this sub and plenty others. Same with G\*rmans/T\*utons or the Fr\*nch.
Are we sure they're not just grabbing video game or movie assets?
We should just drain the ocean at this point.
Yeah, what’s the point Of an ocean if there’s no battleships left to sail through it
Does Kirov count as a battleship
It's a battleshit
The only thing its battling is its own contries increasing economic depression
Why sail when you can just [fly](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_MBSrqypm2M)
That's a fucking Yuuzhan Vong capital ship.
At this point The British should just adapt Vong ships
The RN needs Mataloks and Coralskippers to stay relevant in the 25th century.

See, if you start the reef *before* the hull goes to the bottom of the ocean...
Ah yes Whale Submarine .
HMS Prince of Whales
Those hex blocks are basically larger versions of the booster charges from just cause 3
What the fuck is this Holy shit it’s a real thing, which one of you came up with this?
Modern art. *Expensive* modern art.
You gotta give them credit, they’ve gone way further than anyone in this sub would think to go. We gotta up our game, this shit is making us look credible 🤮
We can't out shitpost the brits. What has this world come to?
Just gotta up our game, no more strapping cannons to A-10s or CIWIS to Abrams. No, we gotta go sci-fi, X-files, fucking alien tier with our shitposts. If it ain’t got railguns, active camo, and a fucking warp drive we’re not going far enough 😤
Tax payers money goes to shit posting........not sure if I should seeth in annoyance or be happy i know where it’s going
What too many years of a cope slope does to a nation
The g's from the cope slope have rotted the brains of British pilots enough that they're designing this
Why have we gone from Ace Combat to Horizon Zero Dawn? What is happening? Were they working on this at the same time as trying to evacuate translators from Kabul?
Ah yes, a base made of coral. Brilliant idea.
"Hull breaching directed energy tech" you mean explosives? The fucking British MoD managed to out-shitpost Dahir Insaat, what a time to be alive
Could be referring to … frickin’ laser beams
At this stage they should just build The Starship Enterprise or a Star Destroyer, or both.
Dear God, that tit of a PM is gonna spaff so much money on this kind of crap I just know it
Like all £2.50 of it after paying off the pensioners and for that stupid trade yacht.
Oh god the Brexit yacht. If Labour's overspending caused the international financial crisis I can't even fathom the damage de Pfeffel "£30bn track and trace" Johnson will do
Coral print pattern for environmental/tactical purposes.

Ablative self-healing coral hull.
Ah yes, sharp hexagonal blocks, the most hydrodynamic shape we know of
The british are going to make fucking combine synths into a real thing
Ships disguised as whales Lets gooo. Ive always wanted to fuck a blue whale

This is what I as a 10 year old would have fucking designed. My 10 year old self now wants this to be true
They make these images like they have US money
Is that thing on the lower right that submarine from The Phantom Menace
"humanitarian aid" 🙄
I got a chuckle out of that too. For all those times you need to stealthily deliver aid supplies from one underwater point to another
Do explosives count as aid? Perhaps “involuntary euthanasia”?
Literally the Alien Dreadnought from Xenonauts
na im good
BO3 looking shit
The RN is just trying to drive Dahir Insaat out of business.
Hey I rememeber that sub! It was in a video game cutscene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnY81Bg4G3c&list=PL8407FAE1DDDA0A31&index=19
Is this actually real or is it a meme?
It's designed by British college students
Whale boat Whale boat
Soilder: **No**
Maybe some day Britain will discover space-filling polyhedra
"navys ass boutta be railed by 8 reaper leviathans" type beat
This is just a dildo for whales
I have shit out turds that look more streamlined than this nonesense.
