Just for fun: a Das Boot Experience

[Onkel Neal]

Yep, me again. I've got a college project that researches running a sub like the UC3 Nautilus as an adventure cruise ship for sub enthusiasts. There are tall sailing ship cruises (http://www.sailingshipadventures.com/)and sailing boat cruises, why not a submarine cruise?

If you think this would be an interesting project, click here and let me know. (http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=bxA_2f_2fPDsVdCHsgvSEaSjdA_3d_3d)

I mean, hey, if a guy can make a nice sub like the UC3, why not share the experience?

thanks
Neal

Haha, good point!

[Captain Birdseye]

How much would you be asking for, for one trip?

[danlisa]

How much would you be asking for, for one return trip?

Fixed that for you. Don't want to give Neal any ideas.:DL

[Hanomag]

Oh.. deck gun practice please! please! :arrgh!:

[Laufen zum Ziel]

Very Interesting:yeah:

[AVGWarhawk]

How much would you be asking for, for one trip?

I would suspect the first question is how many can board the boat. Once the number is established then formulate what it would cost to feed the number aboard, add in the cost of diesel fuel. Fuel at 10000 gallons on the average per gallon($2.00) is $20,000.00. If it is to be a true to life uboat experience the the food should be true to life uboat grub. This would certainly cut the cost of food for bisquits, sour beef and saurkraut. Cost of insurance remains in question. I could see a range of $1200.00 to $1400.00 per head for a week. Say 50 can board(hot bunking :D) $70,000.00 total gross revenue.

I do not thing Maersk would want their container ships being stalked though:o

100m depth. I trust she is certified DNV, ABS. Looks better than the typical tourist subs. Some very nice slide images on that link. Hope she has a good scrubber for patron's off-gassing. :har:

Well, the plan is either to

1. Get the sub and then have a movie based on it

or

2. Get a movie made and use the $$ to actually buy the sub :haha:

[d@rk51d3]

Filled out the survey.:yeah:

Couldn't find the option of live ammo, for some reason.:hmmm:

[Onkel Neal]

thanks!

More, we need more! :ping:

One of these days you may see a video clip of Owner, Pappy, and d@rk on youtube in the SUBSIM u-boat, prepping for a dive, with Jimbuna on the bridge, Gulf salt spray splashing on the conning tower, and you'll ask: wow, how did this come about? And the answer is: take the survey!

Das Boot X survey (http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=bxA_2f_2fPDsVdCHsgvSEaSjdA_3d_3d)
(takes 1 minute, even for slow skippers).

I am uniquely qualified to design the sub:

SPECIFICATIONS: Load with imported Italian meats i.e. a layer proscuitto, Genoa salami, provolone, mortadella, cappicola, shaved onion, tomato, lettuce, salty black Greek olives, roasted red peppers and pepporcini peppers. Dress with olive oil, black pepper, a touch of oregano and red wine vinegar and most important, it is made on a fresh crusty semolina bread.

:salute:

Oh, be sure to loosin belt and open pants while watching Das Boot director's cut in prone position.
