[PSUBS-MAILIST] History

[Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles]

K told me he had sold about 100 subs then decided to take his wife on a 
world tour with the money he had made.  He negotiated the price with 
whomever was placing the order.  Submarines just don't fit into a 
"retail" type selling model.  The K-600 is listed as submarine #124 
which indicates he numbered his vessels to include prototypes.  The 
contract for the K-600 was $110k in 1979 which included certification.  
It was the first of a six vessel order but by the end of the project 
both Kittredge and the buyer were in no mood to continue doing business 
with each other and mutually agreed to part ways which left the K-600 
the only one of it's kind.
