It is beginning to seem like the people drawing these pictures have never actual been down is a sub before. They all want to travel at the speed of 8 to 10 knots. Every time I approach 3 knots I slow down because I'm scared I might miss something. When in actuality 1/2 knot seems to be the perfect cruising speed. And some times it's great to just hang on the side of a wall off the Islands at 6 or 700 feet. The view out a port can never be studied enough. One could look for hours at just one spot. The purple one has a really big profit margin at 1.5 MILL and was probably drawn in 3D Studio or Rhino..maybe Light wave??..But it's a cool image....If you would like one I'll build it for you at less then half the price. The yellow one could be built for around 350,000 USD........ DJB
Snip:.... Benjamin,
I have never seen this sub before. But it looks like the Subeo sub
(http://www.subeo.com/) for "only" 700000 euro.
Greetings,
Thijs Struijs
