Late in the RvG War, specifically the mid '80s, Blue and Purple Team were starting to capitalize on their navies. Surprisingly, Green airpower wasn't enough to overrun the relatively slow ships, and the vessels would often prove menacing foes against ground units, and sometimes aircraft as well. Green Team figured that a submarine was the best approach, but with little experience of building submarines at the time, they were sure that could fail. As such, they sought out a well-known company that had made a name for themselves during WWII, sure to create a worthy contender: AC-Industries. After contracting AC-Industries to build an aircraft that could go both underwater and in the sky, the ACI-A-112, nicknamed "Stonefish," was built. It had one unique purpose: "fly" under a ship, and light up the Schrage Musik cannons, which would pierce the underside of the hull and deal almost certainly fatal damage. Several were delivered, and proved deadly against the Purple and Blue navies. It even encountered- and beat- submarines on a number of occasions. Only 5 were destroyed throughout the entire war, three of which were in crashes, one which was damaged in a friendly-fire incident, and the last of which was destroyed in collateral damage when a nuclear cruiser was bombed by Green strike aircraft. Although the Stonefish hasn't seen much action since the RvG War, it was still a critical aircraft during it, playing a defensive role against ships that not only destroyed many vessels, but saved countless lives, both civilian and soldier.

notes
due to how I made the engines work under water (by putting a VTOL engine high above the plane) It's max depth that the engines can operate at is about 650 ft, recommended max Depth is 600 ft, also if you roll the plane, the engines may shut off, so to combat this weakness, I added rockets
