Quoted from "Desertfox"

The Janequeo looks like a Guppy conversion, too streamlined and too fast underwater. Are we allowing Type XXI and Guppies already?

Quoted from "The Rock Doctor"

It's interesting comparing the LSD with the Bharati design (not yet posted). Same beam and draught, similar light displacement, but some fairly different apportionment of the payload.

The well deck's pretty short compared to historical types.

Quoted from "Hood"

Some OTL French and Italian subs were pretty sleek too around the conning tower so I see no major problem.
Without the increased capacity batteries and snort etc. its not a Guppy clone.
