  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.

    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.

    Your right, there are plenty of insecure people from all levels of wealth.
