I would like one so I can sail around the world Nautilus style. Just call me Captain Nemo.

Kapitan · 12-28-05, 08:02 AM

no it is 400 meters he stated he can and has made submariners for the oil industry with depths, in excess of 375 meters

Why not just plop down 300 mil and buy a Kilo. If you turn pirate you could make your money back in a year!

How do you think I plan to retire!

Everyone on subsim should put in some $ and we can give it away in a competition. After we've added the torpedo tubes, hydrophones, and other bits of course :hmm:

Sounds like a good idea, we can set up the Subsim retirement home

ive just watched a programme on some russian nukes that are simply being left to rot on the edge of the old soviet state as disposing of the titanium would cost more then the salvage charge.

yeah mr putin? il give ya a tenner for that one in the corner. is that a genuine 125,000 on the clock?

Kapitan · 12-29-05, 04:44 PM

airlines could buy an old hulk of titanium and use that for fan blades in jet engines

Wim Libaers · 12-29-05, 07:13 PM

Strange, considering titanium is a very valuable metal. You'd expect people to pay for it, unless the contamination is too serious.

This is your captain speaking. If you look out of your windows and look at the engines you can see how they glow in the dark

been sitting on the kola peninsular for 10 years so contamination levels would have dropped radicaly.

there is one submarine an echo class that cannot be moved it has to stay there for another 40 years because of contamination, and it is only kept afloat buy pumping compressed air into it.

As a lot of the boats laid up there (reportedly) still have their fuel in them, it'll be a hell of a lot longer than 40 years before they're safe.

no because uranium half life is shorter than plutonium

When I was little, me and my friends built a "submarine" from old rusty big barrel. Thanks god, we guessed to launch it to maiden voyage without crew

Her maximum depth is about 7-8 meters - I think she lay there until now
