Once I make my millions I have decided that I would like to purchase a submarine. Where would I go to buy a submarine? What kinds are avaiolable? What sizes? Can I get an old military sub? I’m guessing I can’t get a nuclear sub though that would be ideal. Where do I learn to operate a submarine? Where can I dock my submarine? Can I build an underwater home in an octapuses garden and dock my sub there?
I remember seeing something on the History Channel about a Columbian drug dealer who attempted to purchase a Russian nuclear sub, complete with crew for something like 25 million. The deal would have gone through had it not been for Interpol having something to say about it.
Is this one big enough?
Interesting, I had thought that by 1991 all military subs would have been nuclear. How long do you think one of those can stay submerged?
With a snorkel? Until their fuel runs out. It was decommisioned in 1991. The last one was built in 1958.
Yeah that’s what I want. Fudge! I’ll never be able to have myt own submarine they are way too expensive.
If you’d like something a little more comfortable, try this:

It’s even got a “used subs” page if you’re pinching pennies. Enjoy!
Sorry! Same link as tanstaafl. I should hit “refresh” before posting.
Diesel - electric subs still have advantages in cost, size, and noise reduction. The newest submarine is diesel powered.
Those luxury subs at US Submarine (linked above) are truely wild. I gotta wonder If I’m being whoosed.
Depths of 1000 feet?
I can’t imagine how easy it would be to freak other sailors out. I mean It looks more or less like a regular boat (It would from a distance)
