Welcome Aboard Sam

As this is a survey. If you knew what it costs just for upkeep and to fly a WWII combat Fighter or Bomber for that matter you will quickly see why Subs for for a Cruise business is a poor proposition.

The Concorde failed for a reason. Ungodly high operational costs.

Forgeting the initial cost for a working Sub.

The costs to make it Coast Guard\Maritime certified and the same for the crew and then the biggy... Liability insurance would be staggering.

For the cost of a ticket one could buy their own yacht and cruise themselves.

I fear this enterprise would sink faster than a cardboard Submarine.
