It would take another year for it to be retrofitted for the fleet. And a lot of labour and money. ALL of my captains have lived at sea for DECADES. Your boat would kill you your first week at sea. Sorry, but that's just reality.

I think I'd like a submarine.

Fucking Disneyworld has a fucking submarine. I want a submarine.

I can drive a submarine, anytime :P

I will never set foot on a vessel with you at the helm, Pete! :D

You under estimate me, again :(

No, I'm just afraid I'll give an order and your french shit will kick in, and replace the words I speak with different words, and we end up in a swimming pool. :P

...some rich guy with a "shoreline view" wakes up with a fucking submarine in his pool, and Captain Pete waving "Hellos"?

I can see this shit before it happens, you know. That's my schtick.

As long as the thing stays in water, I can't see any problems that can't be solved :D

Hey, remember the part where I never set foot on a vessel with you at the helm? Well... That.

I would surprise you, I know I would :P

I have no doubt. ...surprised I was there. ...surprised I survived. I'm sure you'd really surprise me. :D

Hahahaha!

Too small

Size matters with boats, too. :P

The only thing I liked about the boat at the end of the above post was the Name.... On Off. The simplicity of that one concept has had an immense impact on things for me. and as a Scottism.... It was a tribute of sorts. Found a whiskey class sub, needs a total refit..

Blue water, steel hull motorsailers are currently my focus.

Refitting a Whiskey-Class with open source hardware would be SO EASY! Russian shit from the 80's will be modern warships! I like it!

Well, I have also found a place to park it.

Ok... To Base it. And the crew of 45...

Hmmmm.. wait a minute: with open source and a few bots maybe a crew of 6 ?

Or fully Rov...

Nice base, all the same though good place and a safe harbor.

I'd need six people who had a fucking clue.
