[PSUBS-MAILIST] Fw: Russian Sever 2 submarine

Mon Mar 16 17:03:45 EDT 2015

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.

 6.0And
 keep me in CC.. 

 6000 ft 
 is a number - perfect  for treasure hunting in deep sea.
 With
 modern 
 calculations maybe deeper. 
 Could be perfect
 sub with a new structure
 around 
 the pressure hull 
 and modern lithium
 batteries. 

 And please
 do not 
 cut the hull in parts.. never.. Its the only thing with
 worth.

 Just 
 call a heavy road transport company- they will not have any
 issues
 with  
 it. 
 I think this one the A.Piccard and the
 B.Franklin are the only
 pressure 
 hulls to 
 build an autonomus deep sea sub.
 And the both others are
 resting in 
 Museums.

 Alec,
 Yes
 it is a task, the weight is the real issue that makes it to
 expensive
 for me to handle.  But if you live by a port it could be
 done.  If the heads were cut off with CT in tact, they
 would be a
 legal truck load.  Abandon the mid section and weld the
 heads
 together and you have something.  You would have to
 determine the
 alloy first to make sure it can be welded of coarse. I agree
 it is a bit
 crazy, bit it still would not be the biggest PSUB.
 If I had the
 money, I would be in Alabama with my hyd diamond saw 
 cutting her
 into three pieces with a tractor trailer unit
  sitting next to
 it.  :-)

  Hank,
 that
  strikes me as a herculean task. I
 looked her up, she's
  85,000 pounds.
 Judging from the photo it looks
 like roughly
  40,000 lbs of steel and 45,000
 lbs of rust.
 Methinks
  you're crazy. That's a
 compliment.
  Best,
  Alec

  In case
  anyone is
 interested, the Sever sub is sitting in
 Alabama in
  a ship yard.  The sub came to
 the USA in the 90,s
 and has
  been sitting since.  The Sever is
 rated for over 6,000
 feet
  and is about 36 feet long.  I tried
 to buy it but the
 owner
  did not get back to me.  I am sure
 it can be bought,
 they
  did not say NO.  My first plan was to
 haul it home but
 it
  is just to much trouble to move that
 far.  My next idea
 was
  to cut the front head off and the rear
 head with CT and shit

 that home and weld back together.  You could have a very
  deep
 diving sub in the 10 ton range.  I am happy to pass on
  any info
 if anyone wants it.  I would do it but it is just
  to money for
 me to spend.

  Hank
