November 9, 2006: New homemade submarine from Russia

Undertoad · 11-09-2006, 07:09 AM

In the beginning of the year this German homemade submarine was noticed, and now this Russian one which is smaller has shown up.

According to this site, it doesn't go very fast, only 4 knots. Says he goes from St. Petersburg to Helsinki, Finland and back without stopping.
This site with the same photos is in Russian if our translators care to have a go, if there is any more information.

But it would be pretty lonely wouldn't it?

Maybe that's the point.

10 posts and nobody has mentioned the "Get A Life" episode where Chris builds the submarine in his shower? For shame, all of you.

Hmmm

Quote:

The submarine was spotted Friday 103 miles (166 kilometers) off the coast near Cabo Blanco National Park on the Nicoya peninsula.

"This is the first time in the country's history that a craft with these characteristics has been caught near the national coasts," Berrocal said in a statement.

U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agents, FBI and Colombian officials aided Costa Rican authorities in the operation, Berrocal said.

Two Colombians, a Guatemalan and a Sri Lankan were arrested and taken to the United States, since they were captured in international waters, Berrocal said.

Not that it matters in reality, but I wonder where Costa Rica and the US Coast Guard, get the authority to snatch this submarine in international waters?

They must have had extensions on those pipes to be six feet under the surface.
