Awesome yacht!
 

I found this over on the Ubi forums. This has to be the coolest looking yacht I think I have ever seen! $300 million is a little steep, though. :cry:

Motor Yacht A
Price Tag: At least $300,000,000
This 390-foot custom designed yacht is notorious for its radical design. The vessel, a creation of Created French designer Philippe Starck, is owned by Andrey Melnichenko, a 36-year-old Russian billionaire industrialist.

Does it come with Bond girls?

Looks like the DDG-1000. Tumblehome hull and all that

No but it cames with the option buton to dive the boat and 2 torpedos tubes!

Why pay $300 million when you could simply buy a Russian military submarine that comes complete with crew and torpedoes? For an extra $10 million, you get MISSILES.

That's actually based on a true story. This Florida drug dealer made over $200 million off cocaine smuggling, and he bought his own submarine and helicopter, and private yacht (the Russian's even offered him a DESTROYER).:o

Hmmm, Russian tech....

It is not much very new or expensive or shiny or digitized or **then started drooling at thinking Western tech**

But hell it gets the job done!

Here's the parent.

Very pretty. Don't you just want to torpedo it in half and watch it slide to the bottom?:arrgh!: Think of the renown!

Doesn't seem to have much in the way of lifeboats. Wonder why that is?

Uhmm... That has got to be the ugliest cruise ship I have ever laid eyes on! :o

Ugly ship, but the thing that caught my attention was the beer commercial in the background. "Bosman" is a well respected beer in northern Poland.:D;)

Well crap! That is all that matters! :up: I agree as long as it isn't bottom fermented!

That's longer then the new LCSs . . . imagine how many crewmembers it'll take to operate that ship. Man, there are some navies that don't even have ships that long . . . and they can take money at gunpoint from people.
