Sweden dodged a bullet by not building this nuclear submarine – the reactor had an insufficient amount of nuclear shielding

    That’s a pretty neat idea.

    The A-11A’s initial design had six torpedo tubes in a rotating launcher — firing two at a time like a double-barreled revolver — which could not reload. That was a limitation, but the design saved on space since there was no torpedo room.

    That’s a pretty neat idea.
