After considering paddles, oars and even some kind of screw, da Quirm solved the problem of propulsion by imitating nature and using a moving fishtail, like a dolphins'. The device is usually powered by pedaling, but also has a large, screw-threaded auger for boring into a ship's hull just very slightly for attachment, so that the Device ~~sort of~~ gets towed as the ship sails. Leonard was very shocked when Corporal Nobbs suggested that this auger could be used to bore clean through the hull and sink a ship.

In a different continuinuinuum of a different world, in Shea and Wilson's '''''Illuminatus!''''' trilogy, the crew of the free submarine the ''Leif Eriksson'' are faced with averting superpower war, over the hitherto un-noticed and disregarded African island of Fernando Poo.

This is here the similarity ends, as Leonard's simple, functional, craft cannot be compared to what amounts to a nuclear-powered luxury liner, which according to one theory, was originally stolen from the U.S. Navy by arch-manipulator Hagbard Celine and rebuilt to his standards of luxury and comfort, whilst still retaining a full weapons load. And Leonard's boat, like Hagbard's, should really be painted bright yellow... I don't beleive we're told this detail in {{J}}.
