The video from Migaloo looks a lot like a stoner fantasy and it is but it's a really well-subsidized stoner fantasy. Check out through the video as I saw no evidence even one of these boats has ever been built. They do look cool, tho.
They call it progressive but this boat uses a similar type of power plant to that which powered the German U-boats in WWII (i.e. diesel motor with a generator).
There are no submariners in the Rockhouse ... largely because we're wimps who will not go underwater inside a machine. However, our understanding is submarines cruise on the surface to cover any distance because it's much more fuel-efficient for them. Unknown whether a submarine handles the surface better than a vessel with a traditional hull but it seems unlikely.
There is one cool advantage of the submarine, tho. If the weather turns bad then you can submerge a few hundred feet and now eat your gourmet dinner in peace.
Unknown if Pink is about but he was a real submariner and has spent years underwater. He told me of the SUBSAFE standards the US Navy adopted after several nuke subs blew up in open waters. Those standards have prevented any other blowing up since and it amused me to see Migaloo is using SUBSAFE standard as part of its pitch.
Why is that hogwash, mates?
Well, I'll tell you why. Consider, if you will, how the Navy will classify information regarding vulnerabilities in their submarines. That will sure be public record where Migaloo can read it, right?
Ed: they got it from Russian hackers
Ah, of course they did. I heard Russian hackers are giving S&H green stamps to ensure your repeat business with them. Who gives a better deal than that.
All in all, mates, this looks like some luxy metal but mostly it looks like kind of a goat, a supremely-expensive one. I doubt James Bond with his Aston Martin and his B&H cigarettes is going to be all that impressed when you show up in the harbor at Monte Carlo. "Oh, gee, there's a giant silver penis out there on the water. Be calm, my storming libido."
I'm thinkin' if I had the big bucks then I might go for a little sub which I could use to tool around coral reefs which, after all, is where most of the fish are. It would have to be a two-man sub or, more accurately, a one man and one adoring woman sub. That would be ok. I don't need USS Hilton with twelve rooms for guests, tho. They can get their own subs as I'm only interested in the fish and the adoring woman in mine.
Ed: in which order?
That depends on the fish, mate.
