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.
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?

- 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!
Let’s tear this apart.
Length overall: 165.8 m Beam: 23.0 m Draft: 8.6 m
Not a nautical engineer, but those seem to be comparable to known military craft. That’s probably a decent envelope for a sub carrying ordinance and full crew. So, lots of free space for a pleasure craft.
Range: approx. 15.000 km
To pump these numbers, that’s likely surface cruising at some optimal speed. We can safely say this isn’t a nuclear sub, since that would be something to boast: your “range” is really “how much food do you have?” since that runs out first.
Submerged duration: approx. 4 weeks
This one’s tricky. There are ways to generate O2 without electricity. But the rest of your environmental controls like heat, light, plumbing, cooking, etc. draw power. So we can assume a pretty beefy battery bank on this boat, but not excessively so, in order to stretch into that 4 week range. But that’s nothing revolutionary for subs - Electric subs go back to 1888, with diesel/electric hybrids coming along after that.
Depth: approx. 250 m
Totally plausible and shallower than military craft. But maybe not with the viewing windows in the illustration.
It even has a pool inside it!
A moon pool or a regular one? Either way, that’s extravagant. But it looks like a moon pool wouldn’t work below 50m or so.
Considering that the record for longest continous submersion of a diesel-electric sub is something like 2 weeks, i highly doubt that 4 weeks in a civilian vessel is achievable
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.
Every sinking vessel can be a submarine.
