Erik Westerberg is a 26 year old smith from Kålaboda(very small town) in northern Sweden who has built his very own submarine. This footage is from the very first test-launch, and it looks very promising. He started his work in the year 2005,Swedish translation but it is about a blacksmith who built a submarine, it would sink or float, he had some problems with the balance of the boat,link :o

With people like this, is it really any wonder why Sweden has the best equipped military in the world!?

Or turn to nightmares :hmmm: In his case, it was probably an extended dream, a bit like getting a new woman at his side, :D

Looks good! :up:
But the poor guy already has a problem with balding at the age of 26...:shifty:

I didn't quite get what he said about balance: he said at :20 he had to screw down the mast for balance reasons, but later you can see the mast when he dives. Vendor: enlighten me please. :)

Vendor: enlighten me please. :) The mast was sitting permanently I do not think he took it down, but he had bigger problems with the ballast to balance the boat, question is whether he can take in some T III and use few shots at the enemy, :D
