I think it's a fantastic ship to smuggle drugs and weapons, so every high profile crime organisation on the planet will desire one, maybe yours, gratis ... admitting they can really deliver the ships without going out of business.

Yup ... it's not lost on folks where the original design came about

This is when you know the wealthy are too wealthy.

It's beautiful engineering (if real), but all I can think about is the number of people that could be fed, housed, and educated for that amount of money.

The world could be made a permanently (slightly) better place instead of building this.

Smuggling will always be a job for those low on the totem pole. It's dangerous and needs to be inconspicuous.

No, this ship is meant for crazy parties and expeditions. Amusingly, just because it may happen to contain a ton of drugs for their personal consumption doesn't mean they're trying to smuggle anything.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Why is that?

I think what the commenter is trying to get at is the name sounds like something that would brand a powerbank you'd buy on Amazon.

If so they'd be wrong to think so.

Fun fact: I was incredibly lucky to spot if myself off the Whitsundays (Queensland, Australia)

Correction: this one actually goes to 250m depth. The one I was referencing just goes beyond the surface
