Dworkin G.2 'Zakkurta'
Culprit: Fireflies - She's My Witch
It was determined early in the development of the Surcohen and related cruiser submarines that the primary limitation of the surface armament was in rangefinding - a submarine was simply not tall enough to get a sight picture out to the maximum range of the 203mm guns. A hangar was immediately added, but it was little more than a narrow pressure tube, and no existing floatplane could be disassembled to fit. Solving the problem would take nearly three years of development, until the prototype Zakkurta flew in late 1939. Serialised production was slow for the next year, limiting the type to the Aramean Navy's submarine fleet, but a manufacturing breakthrough in the finicky glass canopy assembly sped up production so significantly that it became possible to equip most of the surface cruiser fleet by the start of 1942, saving considerable space.

Only the French would see a rotor and think "we should make someone sit in the middle of that".
