* The ''Starsea Invaders'' series by G. Harry Stine has a US navy which has replaced its surface aircraft carrier fleet with cold fusion powered submarine aircraft carriers.
* USS ''Imperator'' in ''Silent Hunter'' by Charles D. Taylor was a submarine which carried a USMC contingent -- a '''battalion''' if I'm remembering this right -- and the '''helicopters''' to deploy those Marines '''and''' their supporting artillery pieces ashore. It's basically a submersible version of a ''Tarawa''-class amphibious assault ship, but heavily armed with torpedoes and lasers to defend itself against ordinary submarines, cruise missiles, etc. Also, it has to be '''bigger''' than a ''Tarawa'' so everything can be enclosed to submerge. [[Awesome But Impractical|Of course something that size can '''not''' be made stealthy]], [[Hand Wave|no matter how hard the author waves his hands]]....
