Dive in. The water's nice. Not far beneath the surface you'll find this astounding beauty; A massive Feign Orca. From the sleek and majestic machinery of this awesome beast emanates an aura of unbridled power. Swimming closer, you sense a glimmer of beckoning in its eyes; an inviting smile of sorts. The hair on the back of your neck stands up because you're underwater. A feeling of warmth surrounds you. Clearly you both have skyward thoughts in mind.

Perched with heart-pounding anticipation at the apex of the poised giant, you give the signal... A whale of a hydraulic piston sends you and ol' rubber blubber careening towards the surface... and beyond.

       Is this a fake whale with a real launcher or a real whale with an imaginary launcher?

       Fake whale - real launcher.

       Can we give them nuclear warheads? That should make the ride exciting, a la Dr Strangelove*

       I love orcas! I love launchers! I love swimming in the ocean! +++

       Sure po, any aquatic critter would be fine. It’s all about the dive really. Having tried many interesting ways of falling into water, I thought it would be fun to get launched out of the water. It’s not likely I’ll ever be in the water with a real trained Orca, and that’s the only thing I could think of that launches this way. Oh, and those cute little SLBM’s. Hey [UB], those would work for you.
