Tim Eisele pointed out that the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is shopping for a submersible aircraft. Or, at least, they want to buy a feasibility study. Quoting:

The technothriller practically writes itself, doesn't it?
DARPA is soliciting innovative research proposals on the topic of a Submersible Aircraft. In particular, DARPA is interested in a feasibility study and experiments to prove out the possibility of making an aircraft that can maneuver underwater. The proposal needs to outline a conceptual design along with identifying the major technological limitations that need to be overcome in order to maneuver an aircraft underwater. In addition to the conceptual design studies, performers need to outline experiments or computational models that will be used to demonstrate that the major technological limitations can be overcome.
