So what do you want to know?

I loved the videos! You guys are living my dream; to have your own submarine. You couldn't sail the Kraka to the 2008 subsim meeting could you?:hmm:

McBeck · 05-02-08, 03:43 PM

OK, iv uploaded some video from inside the sub.

McBeck · 05-02-08, 04:57 PM

Its planned to go to the Mediterranean next year.

It can sail for as long as it has fuel and food, so that pretty long.

He planned the first around the world trip in a submarine too.

Wow!!

How many bow torpedo tubes did I see in that last video

It looks really cool

nikimcbee · 05-03-08, 06:13 AM

Where do you sign up to be a crew member?:hmm:

Onkel Neal · 05-03-08, 07:42 AM

If all went well, she's in the water by now....

Queue a visit from the fun police.

Wow congradz. That is a dream come true.

McBeck · 05-04-08, 07:41 AM

This my first time iv had to post here since she went in...

I have to keep this short, but she floated and was a true beauty and fit perfectly in the water...

This a small video of her being towed....is there something in there that seems familiar?

McBeck · 05-04-08, 07:45 AM

In the fall she will be ready to maneuver while diving and such...

nikimcbee · 05-04-08, 08:03 AM

@McBeck
What is the calculated max diving depth? I'm curious how you figure it verses the actual max depth (without killing yourselves

) What's the deepest the kraka has dove?

The max calculated max depth is 600 meters and change (app. 1800 feet)
The max depth she will go to is 100 meters because we calculate a big safety margin.

Kraka went to 25 meters at the most.

Now how do you figure the 600 meters? What data are you looking at to calculate that?
