So, how much for a Kilo-class and one good torpedo?

 

[martinbayer]

Why not just buy a full on cruise ship to accommodate all the hard core worshipers and social hangers on (at a price, of course)?

Ship's cat?

The design is very familiar to me because I already knew the Yasmine of the Sea. The Royal Qatari family owns one of their home ports where I live. Both ships were built at Feadship Dutch yards. She looks impressive, stylish and beautiful when you are close to it. I remember a visit of F103 Blas de Lezo mooring close to the Marina and there was a couple of Yatchs there looking roughly the same size of the frigate.
According to local press, Launchpad and Yasmine of the Sea were in Palma de Mallorca in early June

Ship's cat?

Actually, not really. See below.

That's what I'm looking to get.

A diesel submarine costs between $500 to $800

and $5 million for each Mk 48 torpedo

Looks like 500 million to 800 million per boat. Too costly to fit one in my bath, should I have one that is......

I had a submarine toy in my bath. It ran on a chemical.

They're manning the oars.

I thought I heard the sound of whips...

 

[Anderman]

I thought I heard the sound of whips...

And it sounds beautyful..

 

[Foo Fighter]

Well, some folk will pay a fortune for that experience so milk it while you can. It IS eco friendly afgter all.....

"Eco friendly"?

 

[Foo Fighter]

"Eco friendly"?

Lots of tourists on the oars, yep. The effluent might take a bit of getting used to though, plus the cost of shackles and gruel........

 

[edwest4]

Oh... yes... the cost of shackles...

Why are superrich so possessed about Superyacht ?
Zuckerberg, Bezos every Russian and Chinese Oligarch got one

At least Elon Musk show more sense and build Starship instead and go to Mars for...
Oh NO, dam, that remind me of something:

 

[edwest4]

We can be thankful they aren't building pyramids. It's called conspicuous consumption. The idle rich need large, expensive objects in their lives.

A return to aristocratic patronage.

It worked for SpaceX…
Boeing certainly wasn’t funding anything exciting, VCs were spooked by SPACs and milspace is all you can bank on.
