Military officers display the bomb recovered at Palomares, with flock of carnivorous dirigibles in the background.

Carnivorous digible (Dirigible horribilis) is a species of self-aware dirigible.

It is an autonomous grazing ruminant airship, neither carnivorous nor horrible.

Commentary

Karl Jones writes:

Most technology, when I give it sentience, I do so with love ... like animism, with machines instead of animals. Mechimism.

It's the injustice of a sentient airship being called "carnivorous" when it is in fact an herbivorous ruminant.

That's the sad-funny part: the sadness of being misunderstood.
