You actully hit the nail right on the head!
Unless something unexpected turns up the 2009 Subsim Meet is scheduled to take place in Copenhagen, so some fun with this baby is a must.

Captain Strangelove · 04-29-08, 01:20 AM

This really looks great!

But are there any more pictures available? From the interior or from above? I couldn't find any.

Cheers

Kai

Torplexed · 04-29-08, 01:40 AM

Very cool.

You've gone from 3-D simulations to the real thing.

McBeck · 04-29-08, 02:31 PM

Jimbuna · 04-29-08, 02:54 PM

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.

Jimbuna · 05-03-08, 05:45 AM

Wow!!

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

It looks really cool
