Help me with my project - I need fictional airships, blimps, submarines (and other submersibles) for a project.

Posted by Kim Pine (aka Callisto) Oct 21 '10, 10:27

They can be from movies, video games, books, TV shows...you name it.

So far, I've used:
Airship from Stardust
Mini-sub from The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou
The Inconvenience (airship from Tom Pynchon's Against the Day)
Nemo's Nautilus
The Spirit of Adventure from Up
The Red October

I need 30+ more so all ideas are good ones.
