In 2001, while deployed aboard the USS Enterprise, I had the opportunity to sketch many aircraft that were a combination of real-world and fictional elements. After we returned from deployment, I revisited the sketches and turned them into a more concrete body of work to build on later. This is an idea for a nuclear powered Ekranoplan (Wing in Ground Effect vehicle) That later came to life as ‘Argonas’ in the popular online game ‘Modern Warships’.
