Speaking of submarines, the USS New Jersey (SSN-796) is the first gender integrated sub ever made and was recently commissioned.

Women have been serving on U.S. Navy submarines for some years now; the distinction is that the New Jersey is the first submarine which was designed from the start for gender integration.

The USS Jimmy Carter (SSB 23) is a unique submarine that was modified from the Seawolf class during construction by the insertion of a 100-foot section and the provision of lock-in/out capabilities for unmanned undersea vehicles. The Carter conducts highly classified intelligence-related activities and can support special operations forces. Those that have read the book Blind Man's Bluff may have some inkling of Carter's mission.

Periscope view from the USS Wahoo (SS 565) as a single torpedo fired from Wahoo breaks the back of the former USS Devilfish (SS 292) in an exercise in 1968.

An interesting but likely flawed concept for a different kind of aircraft carrier penned by the U.S. Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command. The date of this is unknown but the aircraft depicted would indicate perhaps 20 years ago or so.
The landing area is straight ahead rather than the angled deck commonly used. The catapults are on the level of the hangar deck on either side and would likely be untenable in heavy seas.
