The A26 sub is 207 feet long, and features a 'ghost mode' to make it virtually undetectable when underwater.

It can also 'play dead' at the bottom of the sea to remain unfound - while divers can still exit to lay mines

Hopefully that technology NEVER makes it here, as some DEMOCRAT or DEMOCRAT VOTER will hand it right over to China/Russia.

“Hole-in-the-water” = The air inside the boat can always be ‘seen’ by a good sonarman who is worth his salt.

Additionally, they do not mention the infrared heat signature which can be ‘seen’.

Good luck with that project! ;-)

No sub is undetectable. Military contractors and military officers wanting jobs with military contractors sell it as such, but that is just military spending, not defense spending.

The US Navy could use about 40-50 of these to augment their real, blue water sub fleet.

Need something in the littorals that doesn't cost $5bil.

That’s great, but will they still make parts for my 9.3 convertible?

The A26 may be more advanced, but this looks like more fun ...

While cruising has been going on since long, rich people today wish to explore more avenues in this sport. Perhaps this thought has given rise to the concept of submarine yacht. An Austrian design firm has developed with a submarine by the name of “Migaloo”. This 377 foot submarine has all the amenities that a yacht can offer. Expect “Migaloo” to have sun deck, pool and some massive staterooms. This submarine yacht can go into deep waters and can reach a depth of around 240 meters. The adventurous lot can watch whales and giant squid and when one wishes to relax, the submarine yacht has ample provisions for same. “Migaloo” has eight VIP suites, gym, library with cinema and a gaming room too. This submarine yacht has come after some intense research and company sources at “Migaloo” claim that they have been able to develop this submarine yacht as they have been into studying and analyzing yachts since long. The price is however still undisclosed.
