Yes please.

 

[Marc]

i would not get in that thing, ill take my chances with the zombies

They've had submarines since the civil war. That being said, you won't find me in a tin can Pedro made to smuggle some drugs.

These things have been in the news quite a bit the last few years. The current issue of Sea Classics magazine (on the newsstands now) has a nice article on them. they run the gamut from simple tubes that are towed underwater by a surfaces ship to semi-submersibles that really only go "decks awash" to fairly sophisticated submersibles that can dive to around 65 feet. Not sure I'd want to try one, but to each his own...

 

[nawainwright]

Yes please.

Wait......you want it cause its a sub, or because it hauls cocaine?

 

[swatdoc]

That thing looked pretty impressive...but I don't think I'd be keen on getting in there!

 

[dsol]

Can you put torpedo tubes in one?

 

[ATOMonkey]

That is pretty cool. Now I want to build one. Then all I'd need is a body of water to sail it in.

he wants it cause it long and hard and can be full of sea men

Probably. The Japanese submarines that attacked Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941 carried two 18" torpedos. They could dive to about 90 feet but had a very limited range of only ~100 miles.

Why would you want to put yourself in an environment surrounded by water, easily defeated, very limited resources, virtually no defense (and if you have defense options then your probably going to be dead in a few minutes anyways). I mean isn't that the 180 degree opposite of what SHTF survival is all about? As for smuggling, its great until the USN sails in with subs and sub detecting equipment..........

You can have much more fun on a boat anyways, I mean they have yet to invent a sub that can hold the quantity of adult beverages quite like the party pontoon!

Not quite sure that's the case, I've never seen a party pontoon with 5000 sq ft of floor space that's capable of transatlantic crossing. And capable of going down 1000'.

And it could be yours for the low low price of 78 million.

You could build one and then put little green plants in it to make the oxygen so you could stay "safe" away from the beyond the thunder dome like surface ongoings.

All of a sudden those days on the lake with a few drinks seem horribly inadequate. Let me call my billionaire dad. O wait.......

I know the feeling. I don't even have a jon boat at the moment . But think just how quick you could make your money back on it though, the passenger area you could put 20 10x17 ft room in for cruises. It would be the only one out there. Oh and the 78 mil, that was stock. Don't forget to include all the options.

Although I did see a decent little 45 passenger sightseeing sub for sale cheap. It included a powered floating dock with hydraulics to lift the sub up for boarding/unboarding and for towing out to sea, and a fast catamaran for passenger ferry(90 passenger capacity plus crew) and tow. I think it was only about 750,000. But they need over 2 mill in repairs.
