Olasvern submarine base in Norway is to be sold to private sector as NATO no longer needs it. The facility designed to withstand a nuclear attack will be transferred to a new owner for $17.5 million.

A Chinese farmer interested in scientific invention, created this submarine from recycled materials and tested it successfully 2 days ago.

Submarines are often used by drug traffickers to smuggle cocaine to Central and North America. They are mostly reported to be used by Colombian drug cartel members who export drugs from Colombia to Mexico. Such narco subs are usually small, capable to hold 5-6 people and about 10 tons of cargo. The first time U.S. Coast Guard uncovered such a submarine was in 2006.
It’s only a concept but in my opinion, it is very beautiful.
I also think it will be quite pricey…
Have you ever been on a real submarine? Personally I haven’t. That is why I enjoyed this Hyper-Sub Submersible Powerboat “descending photo tour”. This is a 31-foot surface-cruising powerboat that has a really cool design and many great functions.
