Expidition writer is the site I found it on.  I then spent a couple of days searching on Google earth to locate it with no luck, then the fellow that posted the story about it contacted me with the location.  It is at Steiner Ship Yard.

 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.
