Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] A short cut to one's own boat?



The US government doesnt own the seas.  If they have business with you, they can hail you on your radio or ping you (underwater).  Aside from that, do as you please.  I think it works the same way with subs as it does with military aircraft.  They just have to be de-weaponized and you perhaps may have to file a float plan - which many boats do anyways for safety (i do every once and a while).

I've heard of the US government being concerned about these for drug smuggling.  I think some Russian engineers were involved in an attempt or two to build a small submarine down in the mountains of Columbia.  Do you remember that?

An old Whiskey class boat does seem potentially more capable for smuggling than some smaller tourist sub.  Kind of interesting to think about the Coast Guard looking for a diesel sub running on snorkel.

 Shipmates,
 
This ad suggests the sub can be used for adventure tourism or military activity.  I am not sure that is correct.  I believe that to purchase a military sub you have to moor it to a dock, cut off one propeller to disable it, and use it either for historical (e.g. museum) or entertainment (e.g. night club) purposes. You cannot take it out to sea.  Does anyone have definitive information on this?

Hello mike
It is a nice boat but I don´t belive many people will
be able to pay the fees in the marinas or not have
problems with many goverments because of the military
potential. It will be great to have a party on board
:-).
