Their business strategy will be releasing another rendered picture every six months to bring in new investors and inevitably after few years they will ethier go bankrupt or become another yacht company that will call itself “yacht market disruptor” or “the most innovative yacht company”.
or they just the psyop to cover up a new class 9f military submarine being build, u cant hide a drydock from satelites but u can lie about what u building there
I’m sure it will be a submarine*
*maximum operational depth 2 meters from surface to cabin, and must have it’s conning tower, bridge, and snorkel completely exposed at all timeGood point. If any part of a vessel never fully submerges, can it be termed a submarine?
Not really, but it will be good enough to get some affluenza fuck to drop $2bil on it
according to their official page they do have it specced out for 4 weeks of fully submerged operation with a max depth of 250 meters. However, literally none of this is real as it’s just a concept model without real engineering or a prototype built, so the chances of it meeting such specs upon delivery of the final product are… whatever the fuck you feel like they are. Anyone can put whatever numbers they want on a concept model, feasibility be damned.
For non military or explorative purposes there is absolutely no reason to go that deep. The “submarine experience” at 50m is the same as at 250m. And it smells terribly, because recycling sweaty air only goes that far.
The “submarine experience” at 50m is the same as at 250m
Calmly explaining this to my crewmates on the Titan
It can be submerged but it can’t cruise on batteries for 4 weeks. It’ll have to put it’s snorkel up.
Or, seeing as it’s billionaire bullshit, it will be an ecological disaster. What do you want to offer for the odds that it will have shit navigation, and throws out pings every 3 seconds if submerged? Goodbye local wildlife, recreational diving, and all other activities taking place underwater.
Perfect. Now I can ignore the article.
Will this one also be steered with a gaming controller?
No this one is PC based
Pretty hard to download these mandatory windows updates when youre uner 500m of water.
I doubt they will be running Windows in a submarine
Might let all the water in if not closed properly
Don’t worry, those PCs are immune to freezing
Plus they’re using Linux.
So HOTAS then?
HOTASBALLS
lmao gottem
Me, laughing at the luxury submarine because its integrated with PCs
Me, nervous about the luxury submarine because I just found out those PCs are running Linux.
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.
They usually disappear soon after
Yes, they go under the water
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.
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”
deleted by creator
It may be closer to “hope someone is willing to waste $20 billion on one” and then nobody does so it doesn’t get built.
But if you look at all the crap saudi arabia is doing, the chance that they succeed in selling it may not be zero
Your right, there are plenty of insecure people from all levels of wealth.
C’mon orcas, you know what to do
orphaned orca sadly straps on suicide vest
What’s the difference between a pod of orcas and a cell of orcas?
conviction.
The title of this article really confused me because I’ve never hard of this company before.
I thought ol’ mate migaloo (the albino Humpback whale) was swimming around fucking up super superyachts.
I’ve never served on a sub, but I’ve seen videos, and “luxury” is probably the last thing that comes to mind in relation to submarines.
well yeah, military subs arent built for comfort. neither are military surface vessels.
you can make anything luxurious if you pump enough money into it.
And if you don’t have to pump it full of seamen.
That costs extra.
I’d expected much more glass on this one too. If you’re underwater for fun you want to see shit!
The military sub you saw videos about house hundreds of people on board… your personal sub only need to house a few dozen.
Welcome aboard Captain. All systems online
I want a sequel to that game now damn it.
There was a sequel of sorts, Subnautica: Below Zero. It feels pretty different, but it’s fun in its own right.
Yep. Played and beat it in less than a week. It was really fun and spooky.
Where’s a sequel at? Any games in development similar to it?
I think there is a sequel in the works. Supposed to be co op also!
Let’s make sure all the billionaires hear about this yeah?
I think we can market this as “underwater fireworks” and actually make money while the problem solves itself.
Ah, yes, to get to their bunker undetected when the revolt begins.
Unironically, yes, that probably is what it’s for. I wouldn’t be surprised if Larry Ellison and Mark Zuckerberg are excavating under sea cliffs in Lānaʻi as we speak.
New Zealand, there’s a billionaire commune there that’s been robbery criticized for bunker building and pay to stay passports.
There’s also a billionaire commune in South Dakota…
There is a one-time upfront payment of $55,000, plus an ongoing annual ground rent of $1,091 per bunker. Bunkers are provided in their as-is condition, without interior improvements, equipment or furnishings, ready for your outfitting.
How is this a “billionaire commune”, when the price is a fraction of a standard 2-bedroom house or even a motorhome, and pretty much everyone can move in?
Its a good thing that submarines don’t require any kind of routine docking and maintenance.
Dezeen nuts
Ha! Gottem)
What’s the point if it’s not nuclear and doesn’t have any SLBMs?
My super-yacht-sub needs to run on fossil fuels or what even is the point?
I mean, they know what not to do after the last time right?
Yes, don’t cheap out on the life insurance
I heard carbon fiber is a good material.
Depth charges aren’t that hard to make…
Any idea how ? Asking for a friend ofc.
You fill a barrel full of Ammonium-Nitrate fertilizer and put a 30-120 seconds delay fuze depending on expected depth. You start the fuze and drop it into the water. Voila Depth-Charge.

- Length overall: 165.8 m
- Beam: 23.0 m
- Draft: 8.6 m
- Range: approx. 15.000 km
- Submerged duration: approx. 4 weeks
- Depth: approx. 250 m
It even has a pool inside it!
Why would you want to spend 4 weeks trapped in a hotel with no windows?
It has windows.
Clarification: the bogus AI images they’ve got have windows in the viewing gallery. It’s all bullshit though - it features the images from SAFE that are allso bullshit but keep popping up in various articles, notbaly the MRI room.
Even if there are windows they might as well not be there because it will be pitch dark all the time. And any light you shine will reveal… nothing.
Not so. You should really look at the info before commenting lol.
“It’s got no windows!” - there are windows pretty clearly visible in the renders.
“There’s no light down there!” - it tops out at 250m, light reaches about 800m.
Ha, fair enough, although I’m not reading any article about an idea this silly. I still don’t want to go on any holiday where I can’t leave the hotel.
That just means you’re commenting on something without knowing anything about it, and so far everything you’ve commented has been incorrect?
It comes with two boats, jetskis, a helipad, and the ability to surface. You’re not trapped in a hotel with no windows. It’s not pitch black. You have ways to leave. It would have taken less time to learn this by reading the article than it would have taken to type this bollocks.
Pleasepleaseplease put bazillions of dollar-equivalents into building this thing and then get it stuck in ice that later cuts into the hull and sinks it 🙏 I know the unfathomably wealthy will never do anything to make this world actually decent but they can at least let us have a decent laugh once in a while!
(I’m assuming the pollution left before it’s towed out of the environment will be less than the pollution from actually running the thing) (Also “towed out of the environment” is a funny reference. May need to look up “front fell off.” I am asleep.)
