I like the looks of it. Just the swimming pool to me is - queer. But I have an itching in my head over any swimming pools on any yachts.

What would owning a submersible yacht say about you?

Only one thing...

You have more money than you have sense.

The only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys.

I'll take one with the ICBM option.

And one for the military guys: DARPA plans designing a submersible aircraft carrier that has only drones aboard. It should launch both submarine drones and flying drones.

Plans to design?
With 9 trillion dollars mysteriously missing from the treasury, I'd say that they've built the thing already. Or they've built a flying AC carrier with cloaking device.

I think the Brits already were faster.

It did. Going sunbathing on my new submayacht.

The pool is the best touch for pranking your guests. If they're in the pool, they won't notice that we submerged an hour ago.

I'd buy it without nuclear powered propulsion - other than fission. Give me some good multifuel/electric engine and I'm fine. Put some nice SAM's into the package so I'm finally ready to wipe out Switzerland, then the deal is done.

Just hope they have generous lease conditions, think 10$ per month should be sufficient to pay it off, so in 19 million years I shall be able to own it all by myself.

After I've acquired the sub, you'd better hurry to learn it!

Yes, but the pics still are visual.

The text is not that interesting, just describing what the pics show, and saying that it would cost 2.3 billion if it would compare to the costs of a new Virginia class (which I doubt, since this is no secret hightech military platform).

Jimbuna · 07-26-13, 02:05 PM

Ah, right...fair enough.

Red October1984 · 07-26-13, 02:14 PM

I still can't wrap my head around the fact that there's a pool on top of a submerging yacht...

Makes no sense at all!
