Definitely an odd looking WHIF.  It looks like it has the nose of a B-52 and there is part of a submarine on top of the battleship parts.  The wing tip gun turrets are interesting.

I wonder which bits are Army and Marines?  I'm guessing the USJF is US Joint Forces or something similar, going off the Navy and Air Force corners.
