WW II Sub Replica Intercepted Near Queen Mary 2 Secret Service: Silent Subs In Action
New York City Police spotted an unknown vessel near Pier 41 at around 10:45 a.m. Friday.
NYPD Harbor and SCUBA units intercepted a replica of a World War II-era submarine in the waters off Red Hook, Brooklyn, near the berth of the Queen Mary II.
The self-propelled submarine was escorted by police and the captain of the ship was issued a Coast Guard violation for operating an unsafe vehicle and violating the security zone around the Queen Mary II.
The sub, piloted by a Greenpoint man, came within 100 feet of the luxury cruise liner.
The NYPD confiscated the vessel.
I have heard of homebuilt airplanes, but not homebuild subs. Quite a hobby he has there.
100 feet is pretty close.

Dont worry it’s not related to terrorism!
Doesn’t sound as though terrorism is involved. Good.
Someone trying to re-enact the sinking of the Lusitania?
Was the sub facing Mecca?
WW II Sub Replica

Looking at the pictures the only thing in common with WWII sub is that is was in the water.
Anthony Franciosa is supposed to be impersonating a British naval officer. He is told to pronounce lieutenant “leftenant” the British way and not “lootenant” the American way. But Anthony Franciosa let’s a “lootenant” slip out, and nearly ruins the whole operation, getting away with it by claiming a Canadian connection.

Time to start looking into the Greenpoint Mosque.
Just a hobbyist! What a relief!
Maybe they meant WWII era mine. Looks more like that than a sub.
Absolutely. It was just a routine sub attack...let's move along.
I reckon he would use WWII replica torpedoes. Those are contact detonation and armed in the tube(I think).
Actually, Greenpoint is significant. I believe one of the terrorist mosques is in that area or close by.
