    This is neat

    You could have some fun with this. But, at what cost.

    I'd love to experience one, but I'm sure I couldn't even afford the "Hyper Sub" decal on the side.

    That is a cool find.

    I've been in 5 sea-going submarines in my travels. But, nothing as fast and efficient as that. My underwater adventures were in conventional subs in tourist spots like California and Hawaii. I'm on the claustrophobic side, but the sights underwater override that.

    Apparently I am too, I just didn't know it until several years ago when I visited the museum ship, USS Batfish, in Muskogee Oklahoma...I paid the fee for the tour, looked all over the outside, but when it came time to board the boat through the same hatch in the deck used by the former crew members, I couldn't make myself do it...I had to be satisfied with what I learned on the topside......Ben

    I'll let you buy the first one and then hitch a ride.

    There's a submarine open for tourists in San Francisco Bay. Man, that thing is small and tight. I don't think I could stand up in any section of it. And, reading about tours of duty on submarines, I learned the sailors rarely bathed. Yep, if deployed in the military again, I'm staying topside.

    Modern nuclear powered subs and aircraft carriers have the ability to desalinate up to 400,000 gallons of water a day...Bathing is no longer a problem...In addition the crews aboard submarines have traditionally ate better than any other Navy units......Ben

    That is what my son tells me. He spent a little time on a nuclear sub doing a Personnel evaluation.

    I wonder if that thing has “cartel range” to reach a clientele that could afford one or more.
