@Windy Miller @Submariner1

Too good to miss I'd say. Chines Shen Class submarine (type 0333) . A bargain at £3,000,000...

If they toss in that nice wooden boarding ladder (complete with handrail) and a free tetanus shot, it could be tempting.

 

[MCKDAVID]

nothing wrong with that, a wee bit of redoxide and she'll scrub up alright, should sink just fine...............

Suitable for welding practice possibly You would need a “watertight“ reason to buy it.

Thats going to take one hell of a citric acid bath!

But how much citric acid to de rust it.

De rust it? I think it would disappear

It will take £3,000,000 in shrink fees to sort out the sellers head, £3m is just insane .

3 or 4 times the scrap price at 7000 tonnes.

One careful owner I suppose

Did anyone watch Odessa?
A mix of russian and americans tried to purchase an operational russian submarine for one of the Colombian cartels.
When they quoted they asked if they wanted it with or without missiles

 

[mike os]

All these negative comments have put me right off, I was ready to pay the asking price too

Another fun part from that was when they were going to a motorcycle factory in russia. They called a military airport and asked if they could rent a helicopter. When they called back to give a quote they said it's ok to rent but it will be very expensive since it's a 4 crew helicopter. How much he asked. 500 USD was the answer.

Will it fit in your night club barn.

A bit of gaffer tape and couple of life rafts and she’ll be good to go, right to the bottom.
