  Technology: High-Tech Cargo Airships
The WALRUS is expected to be powered through the use of thrust wings (TW), which are articulated lifting surfaces with internal thrust producing engines.
The vehicle that would, and for which the WALRUS is being designed to transport, is still on the drawing board and is not expected to be ready until 2010 at the earliest.
While WALRUS could potentially deliver equipment (such as MBTs and APCs) faster by air than ships can, its true benefits may not be seen until or if we see the day in which hundreds of these heavy lift airships fly round-the-clock missions.

"I Am the Walrus" was made up of three distinctly different songs--the first is the beginning of the song, which John was given the idea of by hearing a distant police siren.

 Rochester Should Say "I am the Walrus"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-11)
As the Walrus feigns grief and pity while eating his oysters, so Rochester emanates a false sympathy for Jane while he attempts to seduce her.
At one point he says to her, "'You -- poor and obscure, and small and plain as you are -- I entreat to accept me as husband" (224).
This line works essentially the same as the Walrus covering his mouth with a handkerchief: it does a poor job of hiding contrary feelings.

 "I Am The Walrus" by Al Kristopher
Captain Walrus and his crew had been especially tenacious about this latest find--not just because the entirety of the salvage vessel depended on what it could find in the ocean, but there had also been a rumor going about that this one treasure was particularly valuable.
Captain Walrus preferred Gears over gold, since the large mechs had more uses to them than just a means of trade, but if Lex Ron Ton was going to be stingy (as Walrus anticipated), then the most he could probably expect was a bagful of rubies.
Walrus' left leg had a peg to it, and while most people would still be adjusting to the wooden appendage, it felt almost organic to the Captain, so he had no trouble walking at all (there was still a sound that came from it whenever he stepped on the floor, but th

 "I Am The Walrus": What it means....
  (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-11)
Beyond a certain point, it *is* arguably folly to read too much into a song like "Walrus." But you can make a stab at it nevertheless, balancing what you know of Lennon's own grasp of literary/cultural allusions with the message that, in the end, is communicated to you as the listener.
I think that promised apocalypse is a vital element of "IATW"; it gives chill meaning to the singer's words, creates a bond with the listener who must similarly be convinced that advancing chaos, political *or* mental, is real.
"IATW" gained life from its in-studio genesis and the serendipty of layered elements (viz., the King Lear broadcast)---these could not all have been intentional, but fortuitously they add extra texture to the fabric.

The Walrus within the song is a reference to the walrus from Lewis Carroll's The Walrus and the Carpenter.
The history of the lyrics begins with three different song ideas that Lennon was working on, the first of which was inspired by hearing a police siren while at his home in Weybridge; Lennon wrote the lines "Mis-ter c-ity police-man" to the rhythm of the siren.
The fact that McCartney was dressed as a walrus on the cover of the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour LP was also stated by Lennon to have inspired the line.

 Joyce - Music: The Beatles' "I Am the Walrus"
Call it an "urban legend" of the literary community; or perhaps just a bit of musical apocrypha, but there has been a persistent belief that John Lennon was influenced by Finnegans Wake when he penned the lyrics for "I Am the Walrus," one of the Beatles' more linguistically surreal tunes.
The evidence is scanty -- it is known that Lennon was aware of Joyce, and had professed to having read a bit of the Wake after someone had remarked that his own writing was "Joycean." It is also known that Lennon was influenced by literature in general, particularly by Lewis Carroll.
In fact the motif of the antithetidentical twins itself is merely a development based on the biographical reconciliation of opposites so seminal to the success of the author's first career (the references to a musical vocation in "Joyce's" works, it develops, is not a longing for what might have been but nostalgia).
