IIUC, a submarine can transport 8 units?!?!?!

I still have trouble accepting the fact that different land units have
the same "weight" (i.e., you can load into a transport 8 warriors or 8
howitzers just the same), but to give a submarine the transport
capability is simply too much.

Since we're at it, in my Mare Infinitus modpack, I'm toying with
incorporating EKRANOPLANS into the game: FAST sea units, with good
attack but weak defense, and with big transport capabilities. When I get
to actually implement everything (ah, the lack of time) from my rather
complete notes, I'll see how do they integrate into the game.
