You're right.  I'd not paid any attention to where they were: just
to the shape.

Yes.  Consider this: take the silhouette from "Maiden Voyage,"  view it 
from beneath (with the surface waves visible beyond) and change the 
tail to something more submarine-like.  Perhaps with the squared planes 
of the 'Skipjack' class, and the image become much more appropriate.

I agree.
