The utterly ridiculous buy Subsim a sub thread

Letum · 02-07-10, 11:50 AM

Current status:
$370 - A Pre-filled air tank for one (No hose or mask)

Previously: $270 - A small diving tank
Neal thinks that if everyone who came to Subsim donated $5 we could buy a sub (LINK).

But what kind of submarine could subsim really buy?
An oil barrel with some weights attached to it or a nuclear armed next-gen. monster?

It seems to me that there is only one way to find out...

Hypothetically, how much would you donate to Subsim to buy the website it's own sub? (USD only please)

I'll start with $20

I think we can stretch to a nose clip.

Added to what we had, that's enough for an oxygen hose. If only we had a air tank and a mask to attach our new hose to.

Not quite the terror of the sea yet...

For a submarine? I'd toss in $10-25, depending on what we'd do with said submarine

Count me in for about $15-20, and bags me the sonar suite

Lets see how Russian submarines like being pinged with Rammstein

I will throw in $5 when I can. A guy in china built a real working submarine for $20 out of a bunch of junk. Ill try to dig up a video, he tested it in some rice patty's.

But can he terrorize and destroy the unfortunate merchant marine with it?

Do you really want to dive in that tho?

Hello,
Cool thread.
Maybe we'd get an Alfa (Lyra) for free, without reactor, if we promise to remove it from the russian docks ourselves ...
Or maybe with melted reactor and clogged cooling system

Greetings,
Catfish

We could have had the Juliet used in the movie K-19 if we'd payed the scrap value and towing fees.
