Unmanned Autonomous Rotary Vehicle? But, a new type of rotary engine. Improved power to weight ratio. Smoother operation with 24 combustion events per revolution.

It looks very straightforward to sandwich an intercooler under the supercharger and use the lake water. Has Atkins ever intercooled one of the marine rotaries?

You forget, rotaries run off of magic, not air.

Maybe it's like other submarines. The engine is just turned on while surfaced to charge batteries.

it doesn't run with the snorkel closed, so you really can't dive more than a few feet for a couple seconds

pretty nifty toy though!
