Good point...

[null and void]

One can pinch every penny and get a submarine that goes to down to 500’.

However, if one wants one that comes back up...

Actually, the record for multiple posts in a row was done in 2004, by a teenager named “asphalt” who decided he was going to take as many of the 000s as he could, along with a 0000, until a Mod caught him long about the 150th consecutive post, or thereabouts.

He just had no concept of what it meant to “spam” a thread. He’s not with us any more.

‘Face

I am actually a little disappointed in FR that it took until your post to bring up the Nautilus.

My second choice would be a sub shaped like a narwhal, which is kinda close...

I want a full sized diesel-electric boat with torpedoes, maybe some missiles and definitely a good cook.

As far as what I would do....well, running guns to the Ukraine seems like it might be profitable at the current time.

Maybe do the occasional lease job for certain Israeli tourists who want to land at night to avoid crowds.

Maybe offer Justine Trudeau a free one way trip to Cuba, where he was fathered.

On my down time I would play sink the boat with the Cuban navy or coast guard or whatever it is they have. That might be fun. Sink a couple of their boats then go away for awhile, sneak back and sink another one.

Maybe sneak into a Chinese harbor and sink one of their brand spanking new carriers. Just to make a statement ya know.

Drive Kim Jong Un bat crap crazy with some shenanigans.

Actually the only limits are what can be imagined.

The problem with most of these commercial true submarines is the cruising speed of 3 kts. A good current and you have no control over your destiny. Also if you lose depth control you are sunk.

Yepper! Something like that!

[right way right]

Yeah, and when they’re rusty beyond saving I’ll take them to gun buy-back collection sites and cash in...I’ll be as wealthy as Musk.

Depends.

Do I get one with nukes? And how many nukes?

[WMarshal]

I would only want a submarine if it had missiles that could reach Davos, Switzerland at the right time of year.

[Clemenza]

I would make sure that it had a screen door.
