[PSUBS-MAILIST] Fw: Russian Sever 2 submarine

Tue Mar 17 06:05:49 EDT 2015

Tim,
Your a genius, except the real problem is not the cost of the sub for me.  The real problem is the divorce ;-)

 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.. :-)

 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.
