[PSUBS-MAILIST] Fw: Russian Sever 2 submarine

Mon Mar 16 13:39:00 EDT 2015

And keep me in CC.. 

6000 ft is a number - perfect  for treasure hunting in deep sea.
With modern calculations maybe deeper. 
Could be perfect sub with a new structure around the pressure hull 
and modern lithium batteries. 

And please do not cut the hull in parts.. never.. Its the only thing
with worth. 
Just call a heavy road transport company- they will not have any issues
with  it. 
I think this one the A.Piccard and the B.Franklin are the only pressure
hulls to 
build an autonomus deep sea sub. And the both others are resting in
Museums.

Alec,
Yes it is a task, the weight is the real issue that makes it to
expensive for me to handle.  But if you live by a port it could be done.
 If the heads were cut off with CT in tact, they would be a legal truck
load.  Abandon the mid section and weld the heads together and you have
something.  You would have to determine the alloy first to make sure it
can be welded of coarse. I agree it is a bit crazy, bit it still would
not be the biggest PSUB.
If I had the money, I would be in Alabama with my hyd diamond saw 
cutting her into three pieces with a tractor trailer unit
sitting next to it.  :-)

Hank, that
strikes me as a herculean task. I looked her up, she's
85,000 pounds. Judging from the photo it looks like roughly
40,000 lbs of steel and 45,000 lbs of rust. Methinks
you're crazy. That's a compliment.
Best,
Alec

In case
anyone is interested, the Sever sub is sitting in Alabama in
a ship yard.  The sub came to the USA in the 90,s and has
been sitting since.  The Sever is rated for over 6,000 feet
and is about 36 feet long.  I tried to buy it but the owner
did not get back to me.  I am sure it can be bought, they
did not say NO.  My first plan was to haul it home but it
is just to much trouble to move that far.  My next idea was
to cut the front head off and the rear head with CT and shit
that home and weld back together.  You could have a very
deep diving sub in the 10 ton range.  I am happy to pass on
any info if anyone wants it.  I would do it but it is just
to money for me to spend.

Hank
