Water shuttles

SATR

Morning. I have a request to anyone interested and has the time for a small project. I have a ship USS Pacifica that is part of my new Federation Naval fleet that protects , explores and patrols earth's and off world's oceans. I'm looking for any ideas for water shuttles/subs time vessels that my ship can carry
Can anyone help with some design ideas? Many thanks

There was an Episode of the Animated Series that had an aqua-shuttle. Maybe not the greatest design and you would have to flash it out a bit, but could be a good starting point.

Thanks I will try and find it

It's called The Ambergris Element. It not only features an aqua shuttle, but also a kind of speedboat-looking thing.

That is the only time in the history of Star Trek (I've seen them all) where anybody uses anything like an aqua shuttle. In the rare instances where anybody went underwater elsewhere, they just used a shuttle or other small vessel.

Sorry if it wasn't obvious enough but I had the Links to the Memory-Alpha pages of the Episode and the Aqua-Shuttle in the text already. Couldn't remember the speedboat though.

Oh and by the way there already exists an attempt of redesigning it:

Maybe you can pick some inspiration from that as well.

I didn't notice the links, I was probably the only one who didn't. :shiner:
