I'd love to! I think it would most look like a slightly bigger 1800's Nautilus in terms of technology, with human-powered screw, a cigar shape, and a ballast tank at the keel. It wouldn't have a sail though, as the Barakuda class is designed solely for stealth operation. Since it's a military vessel, it would also include steel plating to make it less vulnerable to a leak from a stray bullet. The additional size and weight makes it more or less impossible to operate effectively if you don't have some sort of enhanced strength, which limits its deployment. There are probably lighter and less armored vessels usable by civvies, though.
The hatches restrict the size of the artillery that can be mounted severely, I reckon they'd be about 1.5 meters wide at the most, allowing a compact ballista or a small swivel gun to be mounted. Heavier cannons such as those found on larger ships would likely destroy the vessel entirely if they were fired.
If you'd like a more immersive account of their functioning, they're also featured in the story I'm writing, that's why I wrote this. >>37704082
