Want to own your own Sub!!!
A submarine can be yours for the asking
SAN DIEGO, California If you've got a place to store a 165-foot submarine, it could be yours, free of charge. The Navy is trying to unload the vintage vessel called the U-S-S Dolphin. It's a one-of-a-kind research sub commissioned in 1968. It was the last diesel-electric submarine in the U-S fleet. The Dolphin was recently restored for some 60 million dollars, but a Navy spokesman says because of operating costs it's cheaper to get rid of it. One condition is that the new owner keep it in good condition. The Navy says it'll accept offers from government agencies, nonprofit groups or any other institution willing to turn the Dolphin into a museum.

Even tho the sub might be free, delivery will cost you a fortune.
 Maybe they should take her to Groton, CT to be with the USS Nautilus. That would be a great addon to the museum there.

Delivery's not a problem as I can use my 18' BassBoat Trailer!!! Now those pesky largemouth have nowhere to hide. who needs a Fishfinder when i have real Sonar. Plus I'm pretty sure one ping and they'll bob up to the surface for easy pickings..
