HEY I CAN DREAM! yaw to turn trim down to elvate guns vtol to move the turret Backstory: The IJN Azura was a secret Japanese navy ship powered by both propeller and jet engine. The Azura was fitted with a standard engine towards the rear or the hull which would have been the main source of power. However there were air inlets spread out around the boat that helped power 3 underwater jets for extra speed. The ship was proposed on July 18, 1945 however the sole prototype was destroyed by an allied bombing run. The blueprints were discovered by a platoon of American soldiers and sent back to the US for examination. The blueprints showed that this boat would have been armed with three turrets with four 40mm auto cannons per turret.
