THE MOST ORIGINAL, STRANGE AND FAILURE SHIPS EVER BUILT IN THE WORLD.
Good evening to all naval modelers on this forum.
I'm about to get off topic, but Jumpugly is right.
When I write or say (without even writing) something, the Internet (via Google or other search engines) offers you various news or articles for sale about it.
This time it wasn't a sales proposal but news.
Why do I say I'm going off the rails of my topic?
Because the theme was the most extravagant, bizarre and unsuccessful ships ever built in the world.
This is certainly not a failure. In fact, if it is built and sold it will certainly be a substantial income.
It hasn't been built yet, but it's already a finished project (or just an idea, a fantasy?).
I'm talking about the MIGALOO M5 submersible yacht.
An incredible submarine as a pleasure boat.
We know that the submarine is the narrowest and hardest naval vessel for sailors. Not everyone could fit in.
However, it is necessary because it has long been an essential strategic and tactical element for many navies (war fleets).
But who would have thought of making a yacht out of it.
Well, apparently the Austrian design studio Migaloo has presented "the world's only private underwater superyacht", to offer "a not yet existing alternative to large privately owned surface vessels".
Basically when the rich guy doesn't want to be disturbed she dives.
We were also used to hearing news of submarines used for drug trafficking and other illicit trades, but they were small boats of no nautical charm. This yacht is something else entirely, it seems like science fiction.
This submarine, called M5, will measure 165.8 meters long and 23 meters wide at its widest point, with a range of approximately 15,000 kilometers and a speed of up to 20 knots on the surface (or 12 knots submerged).
What is most incredible is that the submarine will be able to descend up to 250 meters deep and remain submerged for up to four weeks.
She will be able to hold 20 passengers and 40 crew members.
It includes a helipad, a swimming pool and spa, a gym, a cinema with art galleries, a party area with a DJ booth, as well as numerous spaces for relaxing or dining. Optional extras include a hot air balloon and an underwater shark feeding station.
Take this news with a pinch of salt (i.e. with due caution) because it comes from the Web and has not yet been confirmed.
Do you think they will really do it? Will someone be so eccentric and rich as to want to shell out a gigantic sum for such a vessel?
Is it just a hoax?
As soon as it's a reality, if it's a reality, ready to make a scale model of it, ahahahahah.
