Submarine Cruise Survey

[Kapt Z]

Sounds great in theory......

Just doubt it could be feasible in the real world.

[FIREWALL]

Simple math then. Still take the cost of to make it Coast Guard\Maritime certified and the same for the crew and then the biggy... Liability insurance would be staggering.

Then divide that by how many passengers it will hold.

Btw . How many miles is it from Galvesto to Pensacola ?

As the crow flys.

Coast guard cert isn't that big of a deal, probably. Don't know what's the SOLAS / USCG regs on subs, tho... If there are any. And operating in the gulf means there's a lot of countries in easy reach, so it'd be pretty easy to do international cruise. Translation: Funny flag on the stern, everybody saves.

The hard thing would be to work out a crew / passenger ratio - Those cones aren't going to be able to do much to move the boat around, and every berth you put a crewmember in is a berth that's not making money.

Don't see any obvious reasons it woudln't work, tho. You guys taking resumes?

One of these days... I'm going to surprise a lot of people

[UnderseaLcpl]

Sounds cool. I'd be willing to invest, even if I couldn't make the cut for the crew.

I want to be a cook or work in the torpedo room.

Will a simulated depth-charge attack be part of the package?
Will a dutchman be in-charge of the dive alarm?
While on patrol, will I still be able to post in the GT forum?

Will we re-enact the "dancing scene" from Das Boot?

*narrows eyes* First the submarine naming thread and now this.


Something is fishy around here. Fishier than an Icelandic fish market in the early morning, well stocked with fish by a man named Jorg.

I'm a fast learner, and am a pretty good cook. I'm not putting on a grass skirt and oranges though.

Will we have to have crab inspections? D:

Bags me the sonar room.

"...Coast guard boat at 010 approaching fast, moving left..."

[mookiemookie]

Do we all get drunk the night before the cruise and take a whizz on someone's car?



Uh...not like I've ever done that before...nope....never....
