[PSUBS-MAILIST] Fw: Russian Sever 2 submarine

Tue Mar 17 01:43:21 EDT 2015

Here's the answer, Hank:
1. buy the sub
2. pick up a travel trailer or fifth-wheel
3. drive down to Alabama with the travel trailer during the winter season
when you're not moving houses
4. buy some tools while down there
5. overhaul and restore the sub in situ
6. finish with a new sub located in the diving area, an extra 100 grand you
didn’t' spend, and a truck load of near new tools
Big win.  
Oh, take your wife so she enjoys the winter on the Gulf Coast.  Bigger win.

Tim

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.. :-)

  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.
