    We do have Supermarine aircrafts. They've made some interesting aeroplanes.

    I see, interesting. So I wasn't the only one to think of this. ;)

    Well no, the Supermarine company has been around since the early 1900s.

    That makes sense, as that's also when submarines were first widely used.

    Oh, you're talking about submarines? Supermarine makes airplanes and just airplanes.

    I'm not, but I knew about submarines, and realised that the opposite of a submarine is a supermarine (etymologically). So I considered what that would be... and then I realised aeroplanes are supermarines. Which is why I made this status.
    But I hadn't expected an actual company to have made the same realisation as I have. :P

    I am amused, but from the etymological perspective, they're only supermarines when they're flying over water. ;)
