I love that there is a section on “sustainability.” Who says these guys don’t have a sense of humor?
Superyacht submarine, now titanium LEED certified and made from sustainable materials.
It automatically recycles into an artificial reef.

#103The funny about this is that despite all the beautiful pictures, it would probably be a very unpleasant boat to ride in. Submarines by design are not very stable on the surface (think of a cylinder that rolls vs the v-shape of a surface ship that keeps it upright). But underwater, it only does 12 knots. So you have to choose between going really slow or having a smooth ride.
It wouldn't be because it'll never be built. This is just a fantasy project of which there are plenty in the maritime space. Remember this one?

Usually they're schemes to bilk the gullible of some $ by crowdfunding or NFT scams.

Yup ... it's not lost on folks where the original design came about
Correction: this one actually goes to 250m depth. The one I was referencing just goes beyond the surface
This one doesn't go anywhere, that's just a number on a web page. It sounds impressive but not so impressive that it is unbelievable, which is good for the business of schlepping NFTs.

The only way this is sustainable is if the owner goes out to where the transponderless fishing fleets are and torpedoes them to the bottom of the ocean

#106Once ordered this will take years to build. I don't see a figure, but would guess 5+ years...?

I donated when I was in 1st year of high school. I have kids now...

The people building it will be fed, housed, and their children educated with that amount of money. Jobs are what the world gets out of this sort of thing.
Feeding, housing, and educating people would also create jobs. Probably a lot more jobs.

#109The lines between fantasy fiction, performance art and scam are getting really blurry with this one.

In fact, the point I was trying to illustrate is that if they steal your fancy luxury submarine is even less expensive, it's free, gratis, 100% discount. Do you really want a ship that it's seen as disposable delivery system by every single organised crime entity on the globe ?
How are you supposed to hijack a submarine when it's subsurface?
Depth charges and a PA system.
