What is the silliest naval ship idea you have devised that you might still sell to a real navy?
Short answerA wheeled offshore patrol vessel for island land patrols, presented as an April Fool's joke that one listener took seriously.
NotesAn April Fool's presentation proposed a wheeled offshore patrol vessel that could also patrol land on island territories. The remembered mock-up was a modified River-class Batch 2 with a 76 mm gun and wheels roughly 12 meters in diameter. One listener took the proposal seriously and considered it viable. The presentation's author acknowledges making a persuasive case while rejecting the concept itself as an absurd idea.
