UC3 Nautilus Launch Party

McBeck · 04-28-08, 03:30 PM

Well as some of you know, I have been a little involed with homebuild subs....that is to say I know a guy who does it.

After 2½-3 years on contruction we are putting the latest sub in the water this weekend and Im to say the least excited...

You actully hit the nail right on the head!
Unless something unexpected turns up the 2009 Subsim Meet is scheduled to take place in Copenhagen, so some fun with this baby is a must.

This really looks great!

But are there any more pictures available? From the interior or from above? I couldn't find any.

Cheers

very very nice... hows about some specs???

Torplexed · 04-29-08, 01:40 AM

Very cool.

You've gone from 3-D simulations to the real thing.

McBeck · 04-29-08, 03:15 AM

I do have som pics during contruction, but these are not released.

These are the only onces for now:
http://www.silenthunter.dk/link.asp?.../1/UC3_1_1.htm

I can compile a liste of questions for the designer if you like, but I can say its app 18 meters long.
Theoratical max depth is app 600 meters, but safe max depth is 100 meters.
Its app 30 tons.
Snorkel depth speed should be app 10 knots

Some video:

At the end of the video he is airing the idea of launching a missile from the sub....sounds crazy, but he can build it.

McBeck · 04-29-08, 05:51 AM

Some video of his 2nd build sub: http://www.vimeo.com/948477

Kapitan_Phillips · 04-29-08, 07:10 AM

How much did all that cost?

What? The second sub?
App. 2.500.000 DKKR = 50.000$ = 33.000 Euro

I have no idea what the new one cost...maybe twice that..
