You both are right really. Strangereal wise, the Yuke subs are based on the AC2 Dragonette subs. The real world idea for carrier subs was popular in the run up to WWII, along with the big gun subs. A few carrier subs were built, most notably the I-400 series. But the dragonet's shape was inspired by the Typhoon, the function by the I-400.
