[PSUBS-MAILIST] Fw: Russian Sever 2 submarine

Mon Mar 16 19:14:40 EDT 2015

Carsten,
I agree it is worth it if you have the money.  No question about it.  Again, I think it looks great, I wish Gamma was that nice when I got it.  I hope someone grabs it!

 100.000

 USD? = 100.000 Euro 

 For
 a autonomus offshore submarine that
 can go 
 6000 ft deep ?  
 Cheap - I spend much
 more for a 1000
 ft 
 diver.

 How much they want
 for it?
 On the second view it looks
 pretty 
 intact. 

 Send it to
 me...   Antonov has the
 right 
 plane.. :-)

 Carsten,
 > That is pretty funny, I am a
 heavy haul company and believe me it is an issue.  It is
 over height,
 over weight , and over width in some states.  It would cost
 well over
 100,000 dollars to move it to my yard 6,000 km away.  It is
 perfect for
 someone close by or close to a sea port.  I was sure you or
 Scott would
 grab it.  It would be a shame to cut it up.  I also think it
 is in great
 condition.
