There's an alternative to that Russian rustbucket. Oh sure, it's 10x more expensive, but you get what you pay for. Oberon class forever!

The only problem with these kinds of boats is that you will litterally have to service check several valves pr day year round to have it ready for operation - there are THAT many on board!

I don't get that e-bay listing? Is it for the sub or is it to raise donations for the museum?

AU $4,900,000.00
That's kinda pricey, for a donation
