The boat you are referring to is an old "Whiskey" class desiel electric
boat. It was one of the main "tools" the USSR used in a futile attempt to
detect and track us "Boomers" in the cold war.

It was fun and very interesting for us to actually get to tour an example
(when in Vancouver) of our old nemisis. Those poor bastar__s lived like
rats in a hole! In the end, we are all brothers, and we felt sorry for
them.

Really it is much easier to just board one and take it over, especially
in
Russia. If you have to money you could probably even hire the crew to
do
it
for you.

Very true.. The Russians are selling their old nuclear subs for scrap or
what ever..

A business friend is in the ship salvage business an purchase on about 4
years ago.. There was so much interest from the public to board and tour
it,
he turned it over to a 'foundation' that operates it as a
public/waterfront
attraction.. It was in Vancouver BC for a while and is now in Seattle.

But the OP would still have to build a reactor since in both the US and
Russian subs, the reactors have been removed and are in storage..
