    Meh, I’ve seen a few of these pop up and get articles written about them over the years. They usually disappear soon after. Probably just trying to scam money from Investors.

      US Subs has offered these for decades and they’re a legit commercial submarine firm. I’m not sure anyone actually wants to buy them.

        I read on a pop sci magazine years ago that “this is not the first time we have offered a design, but nobody was willing to buy one so it didn’t get built”

        Unless it’s a nuke sub that lets your rich ass just disappear under the water I don’t see the point. Cruising around under the surface with a snorkel up on diesel engines just seems like a straight downgrade. Why even go out of your bunker.

          Beach litter and run, seal clubbing and, more importantly, getting away from pesky laws

            Sure, but you can do that on a yacht just as effectively and get a sun tan while you’re at it.

            Maybe their proposed market is evil albino billionaires. I think only Bera Ivanishvili qualifies.
