No attempt at Sealion

The Siebel Ferry was designed and built specifically for SeaLion. There were 6 or 8 ready on time. Not really much for an invasion, but there were hundreds ready in time for the evacuation of Sicily, an operation which ran smooth as silk.

Aerial torpedoes and other basic anti-shipping weapons also seem to have got an impetus based on SeaLion, not ready on time, but available for later mischief.

There's a whole bunch of weapon systems developed or designed for sealion that were later used, I guess a whole bunch of things would not be devloped that were useful later on.

Couple of examples ... Recoiless artillery (used on Crete and later), snorkle tanks (used to cross the river Bug as part of Barbarossa)
