Does anyone actually have a figure on how many civilians own military subs (including subs re-fitted for research, etc.?).
Somehow I think the number is 0 (and that the research boats are conducting research with government/naval crews), but I could be wrong
.
But yes, it'd be damned nice to have. I can think of a 1000 nice, mean, and illegal things to do with it.
Has anyone read that Patrick Robinson book that mentions how a submerged US nuclear submarine accidentally comes upon a sail boat on the open sea, with the couple owning it having sex on the deck? It goes something like "The watchman got the camera rolling, and they played it on the ship's TVs for months afterwards"
