[PSUBS-MAILIST] Fw: Russian Sever 2 submarine

Mon Mar 16 19:29:33 EDT 2015

Might be risky to put Sever 2 on Antanov, the Russians might take it back home :-)

 Expidition writer is the site I found it on.  I then
 spent a couple of days searching on Google earth to locate
 it with no luck, then the fellow that posted the story about
 it contacted me with the location.  It is at Steiner
 Ship Yard.

  Carsten,
  I agree it is worth it if you have the money.  No
  question about it.  Again, I think it looks great, I
  wish Gamma was that nice when I got it.  I hope someone
  grabs it!

   100.000

   USD? = 100.000 Euro 

   For
   a autonomus offshore submarine that
   can go 
   6000 ft deep ?  
   Cheap - I spend much
   more for a 1000
   ft 
   diver.

   How much they want
   for it?
   On the second view it looks
   pretty 
   intact. 

   Send it to
   me...   Antonov has the
   right 
   plane.. :-)

 It
  is
   over height,
   over weight , and over width in some states.  It
 would
  cost
   well over
   100,000 dollars to move it to my yard 6,000 km
 away. 
  It is
   perfect for
   someone close by or close to a sea port.  I was
 sure
  you or
   Scott would
   grab it.  It would be a shame to cut it up.  I
  also think it
   is in great
   condition.
